When it All Falls Down.

Have you heard the saying when it rains it pours? I have, but at times I feel like it floods. It seems that at your most vulnerable points in life you’re getting attacked from every end. Family, burned relationship, job, and health all have teamed together to create one the most miserable experiences in your life. It seems like the orange juice commercial, where the person sits with their glass of orange juice with the problems they will soon encounter later in their day. In my story there is no orange juice just the problems (See tv commercials aren’t realistic). One thing is some of the problems are self-inflicted and others are uncontrollable circumstances. I sit at my job on my brother’s birthday May 1st three days before my own when I will be turning 30, thinking to myself, “I am getting too old for this”. I find myself at this moment asking God for just an ounce of peace. The funny thing is now as an adult I realize what my parents had to be feeling sometimes. It’s crazy how sometimes in the midst of silence chaos breaks out.

Today, as I was on my way to work after an argument that started the fall of my day, I witnessed a 4 car accident. The day was beautiful and traffic was flowing with ease on the road I was on. I had started listening to a calming Neo-soul song. Three cars ahead were sitting still at a traffic light by the intersection………THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN a new shiny blue pick up truck passed me speeding and ran into the back of a car (totally smashing the entire back of the car), that hit another car, that hit another car and pandemonium broke loose. I pulled my car over to the side parking lot to see if anyone got hurt. I witnessed one female getting out of her car frantically crying, another screaming in anger as she ripped the shirt off her child where the glass from her windshield stuck to his back, and a man who was driving the pick up yelling he didn’t mean to do it.

I relate this situation to how life tends to function. One of the drivers that were hit had just bought their car and in the moment of her feeling good about her new car being bought ended in swift shift of her new car being totalled out. In life sometimes it is at the moment when you think that everything is going to be ok, you are determined to have a good day, and everything seems to sitting high in the right place. It all falls down and when it all falls down you are left with nothing else to do but plea at God. These experiences at times make you feel when it all falls down bouncing back seems worthless. I don’t know, I have not positive quotes or statements to give you at the end of this post (forgive me I’m just feeling some type of way right now), just my tagline. So, do this for me remember, “That life is a journey, it’s up to you to make that journey a magical one. Thanks for reading, Coffee Brown Brother.
