Tough Times

Life is tough!!! I use that with three exclamation points because as everyone knows one just does not explain how tough it can be at times. I look back over the last year and I see the toughs times I have gone through and maybe at the time did not think I would ever see the end of that tunnel. I watched a dear love one unresponsive in the hospital after a unsuccessful attempt at suicide, then watched that love one come back around and regret the decision they had made. I watched as my parents had to deal with my Dad waiting to be accepted for disability and not being able to bring home any type of income while waiting, and then me having to deal with attempting to pay some of the much needed bills of theirs. These times were tough and still continue to be tough. My Dad was given a court date for his disability but it was postponed so now almost 2 years later he still doesn't have an income and its still tough on my family.

These events are TOUGH and a lot of time it seems like there is no end to the madness but there is. I am in good health and unless there is a freak accident(which could happen)I should survive many more years and look back and laugh about all these so called tough times. And it could also be that in the future I look at something I am going through and wish I was going through something easy like I am right now. Who knows only the future can tell.

But I want everyone who reads this to be encouraged because honestly what ever hardships today brings there is always tomorrow. And tomorrow is so much brighter than today. And the one thing that can make that day brighter is Christ. So rest in him because his path is so much better then the one we choose. And the path he leads us on is perfect but we always want to stray away from that and try to do it our own way. Be encourages because he wants to lead you through the tough times.

I love you all
In Christ
