Do you feel like a small ant trying to get past a huge boulder which is totally blocking your way? Just to make it worse, you have tried all the tips from friends and family,read the books, yet, here you are still! You and your boulder.

You are not the first to be standing in such a place. Nor are you alone. One cannot make it far on the path of life without the odd massive boulder blocking the way.

The shocker is this... a person can learn alot of important lessons leaning by that crazy boulder. You find out who you really are in the waiting. You can complain, be angry and bitter. You can blame someone maybe? Sadly, it may feel better at the moment, but it does not move things out of our path.

How you and I respond to the boulders we face, tells anyone watching just who we really are.

It is in the waiting that character is built. In the book of James in the Bible, Chapter 1:2-4 we learn that the testing of our faith developes perseverence and when that is over, we mature in our faith. Believing that God loves you when you feel forgotten leaning on your boulder, really is a huge test of faith.

Growing up in a home where my dad forgot me, more then once has left its ugly mark. It does not take much for me to feel forgotten. Perhaps you understand what I am talking about here? This is the thing though. While my dad forgot me , God never has. He has met me at every boulder, either helped me climb over it or showed me the way around. Sometimes, redirected me altogether.

You do matter to God, even if you don't feel like you matter a whole lot to people at the moment. Find a Bible, on- line or some where in your house. Read Proverbs 3:5,6, take the advice you find there. Jesus is the One who will never walk away. He will not make your life perfect. He will give you peace though. He will show you what to do with the wretched boulder standing in your way. Who knows, He may want it there because the path you are on,is not the one He wants for you.

Remember, God loves you and you matter to Him.
