Pushing thru when it’s not a good day…that’s hard.
The to do list keeps mounting. Everything I did yesterday has to be repeated today, like it was not even done. Cleaning, cooking, laundry. Just to make it another day…sometimes it is overwhelming. The uncertainty of tomorrow is always bringing me to my knees. It’s hard. Life is hard. And I have it easy…not as easy as some it appears, but I don’t know their quiet struggles. I know those who would say I have it easy. And they are right. But some days it doesn’t feel easy. Here in America, we really kinda all have it easy whether we want to admit it or not.
That unexpected medical bill, lack of rain, to much rain, mouthy teens, uncertain future, did I do enough, did I do to much, should I have said that, why didn’t I speak up…and then you get news of a distant loved one with the terminal prognosis. And all of the other junk melts away. WHY can’t I be content without constant reminders of how brief this journey is. WHY do I get so distracted by the ridiculous! Love others, Jewels…that’s what He wants. Perfection is a myth. It’s a lie from Satan, actually.
Tarrying Here 
Even King David, a man after God’s own heart, wasn’t content with all God had given him. We see it caused him to commit adultry which led to murder. What he did do was not let Satan’s lies keep him from repenting and turning himself back to God. Being content and happy with the things God has given us is hard because the flesh always wants more. We just have to constantly humble ourselves before God. Easier said than done on most days. Satan will put every lie imaginable in our minds to keep us from that place. We just have to know that we are not alone. All fleshly beings share the same struggles. And God is always there with us through them whether we realize it or not.
