journal entry

this in an entry in my quote unquote journal (thought i was all
talk about doing that , huh). journaling says:

i know, now. man, sometimes life is just hard.
i mean, no one ever told me that it was going
to be easy. and, its true, when it rains - it really
does pour! it can get almost impossible to see
past the present and in to the possibilities of
the future. life has a way of throwing things
at you - again and again and again. its a
fight to keep your faith under the weight
of it all. its so easy to get sidetracked. it
can be hard to keep the course. dang, it
can be hard to just see the course half the
time. the pull to just give in or give up
often times is so much stronger than
your will to keep fighting. it gets tough.
it really does.
its so reassuring to know that
God’s word says that “weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”. the battle
is more bearable knowing that there will be a light at the end. we have
got to hold on to God’s promises
and assurances and rest in the fact that He knows much more than us. His thoughts are not our thoughts
and sometimes His plans are not what we have planned. He promises not to give us more than we can bear and I trust that if He brings me to it then He’ll also find a way to bring me through it.
