Keep Moving

We have known several families that have experienced the loss of loved ones recently, which has caused our two (2) children to ask why so many people are dying. It is easy to say that it is something that we will all face, that every family will experience it, that we are just in a really trying season. The truth is, though, it is difficult to explain.

There are lots of things in life that are difficult to explain. I don't know why bad things happen to good people. I don't know how people can go out and intentionally hurt others. I don't know why, even when you are trying your best and working hard to do the right things, that something unexpected happens that knocks the wind out of your sails. Oh, it is because we live in a broken and fallen and sinful world, and we are all going to face adversity and challenges.

Today's word is a quote from Lisa Lieberman-Wang that says, "When life puts you in a tough situation, don't say, 'Why Me?', say 'Try Me!'"

Nothing about this world exempts any of us from experiencing pain and suffering. NOTHING. JESUS told us that in this world we will have tribulations, we will have hard and difficult times. We can wonder why it happened or we can put our heads down and keep moving toward the goal, the calling that GOD has given us. We can faithfully finish the race.

Times of trouble and trying will come. It is okay to get mad and angry and sad. Then, focus on GOD, take the next step and keep moving.

Be Blessed,
