When Life Hits Hard

 

Life is relentless. It can be filled with joyous occasions, but it can also sucker punch us till we are bent over with pain.

I think we all have moments when we want to throw in the towel and say “enough is enough”.  I know I do.

There are times when I’m tired of the fight, tired of making my way, tired of striving towards the goal, tired of hitting the gym, of the same routine day in and day out.

We have these seasons of life.  It’s not some crazy frantic thing that makes us weird for feeling it.  It simply is the way things are.

We were created to go through times like this, we have strength to get through these times, and they will pass.

I know when we are in them it seems like it will never be over, it seems like we are stuck in some type of quick sand that sucks us down and is always trying to bury us.

But it’s so vitally important to really dig in and press hard during these times. Remind yourself that you are strong enough to overcome any obstacle, to beyond any hurdle.  And when you do you will become even more confident and more strong.

So be prepared for the times that kick your butt, and prepare yourself ahead of time for them.

But above all remember, you can kick the crap out of hard times and come out the victor.
