Why does life have to be so hard sometimes? I mean really. I see so many people struggling to make ends meet, to overcome illness, to have or grow a family, and the list goes on. It's hard to see pain and suffering, especially when it's people you care about.
Then you see some people who have it all. Or maybe it just looks that way. Maybe they're fighting for something too. I think hardships are universal and everyone has their story. Some just aren't as forthcoming with it.
How do you handle these things? How do you keep your head up and keep trucking along? I know I use my faith as my way of getting through those times. "If God brings us to it, He will see us through it." Amen. All we can do is keep the faith. Pray and know that these things will come to pass.
It's difficult. It's hard to release that control, to let go and let God if you will. My best friend and I used to sing a song in church that echoed this sentiment. When I Let it Go by Sierra. Good song, even better message.
So yes, it's true that life ain't easy, but I truly do believe that God will never give us more than we can handle. I guess some of us are even stronger than we ever would have imagined. That strength will continue to see us all through the trying times and will bring us out even better in the end. I have faith in that.
Hugs and prayers to you!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeletegiving it to God is not always easy, but it is always best :)
I remember that song, I loved that song! Good post. Well, I just keep on trucking, but I do look around and wonder "why me?" Although I look at some and think "Thank God that's not me..." and then I pray for them. I read somewhere that instead of asking "why me?" we should ask "why NOT me?" woah
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy!
ReplyDeleteSO true, Sarah! :)
ReplyDeleteKara, our last conversation has had me thinking about this. Whoa is right. It's hard to get in that mind frame, but I know it's a much happier and productive place to be.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I hear the "you guys have it all" type comments and I just think to myself if they only knew! My immediate family and my little family of 3 have been through a lot and we certainly do not have it all but we have each other! I try to remember no matter what is going on we have God, family, and health. We might not be perfect, we might not be "normal", and we might not have it all but we have each other to get us through the tough times!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Erin!
