Stop Running
Do you feel like Forrest Gump? I keep running into young people whose parents went round and round on the marriage go-round and they got left behind. Alone. Now as adults they don't know what a healthy relationship is or what good parenting looks like. So, they run. Well, in the middle of the desert Forrest finally announces, "I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go home now." Stop running. Find a ministry or a godly mentor to help you find some answers. Maybe "tired" is trying to tell you something.
