up is down, right? ...or left?

Some days are just tough. There's no getting around it...they're just not easy. During those times words seem hollow and the days are long. It's easy to forget what it's all about, pull back and wait for the day to end. If I can be a bit transparent here...it's been that way for me recently. Honestly, the past few weeks have been the most difficult stretch I've experienced in quite a while. Everything seems more difficult. My knee jerk reaction is to wonder in frustration what is going on...? I chase these thoughts around to no end. And in these moments my conclusions don't usually add up. I second guess myself, and I get confused.

I pray only to hear nothing.
I wait only to feel alone.
And then...the day just ends.
Nothing magical. No breakthrough.

But then...another day begins. And in that day are hours that have not yet been lived that have been given to me, entrusted to me. God has a plan that is bigger than my difficulties in every way. It is up to me to choose his plan, that day/everyday, not my difficulties as the determiner of my destiny.

What is good is not always easy and what is easy is not always good.


Psalm 18:33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;

he enables me to stand on the heights.
