This has been a tough season. But don’t be discouraged…this is only a season…life is still good. Things will get better. I know it feels like it is going to last forever, but it really won’t. One of the things that makes it so hard is that it seems like as soon as we get past one hurdle another one is already on the way. It can be disheartening. Our lives are just like the waves of the sea…as surely as our problems roll in–they will surely roll out.

That’s just the way life is. It’s all hills and valleys. Every now and then, we will get some level ground, but that is just there to prepare us for the next climb. God does prepare us in advance though. The thing is that we are so busy doing life that we sometimes miss the signs. But the Bible says that His grace is sufficient…meaning that even though we may miss the signs, He will carry us until we can get our footing again. 

Here’s the thing…our lives are full of lessons. We just have to learn how to manage them. Some lessons are for us, and some lessons are designed for those around us. Our job is not to know which is which. Our job is to trust God no matter what is happening in our lives, and know that He will see us through. Be encouraged. Even though life may sometimes be hard…it is still worth living, and God is still good.

Until next time…

Be blessed
