Growth

Sometimes life is hard. Sometimes things don't go my way. Sometimes I get sad. I wonder ''Why?'' But, more than that, I wonder ''How long will this continue?''

What I'm learning is that life's questions aren't that easy to answer. The answer is often found in the journey. Sometimes it's not even about me. But, many times it is. And it's about changing and growing and becoming more of the person that God sees in me. A better me. A me that He wants me to be.


It can be painful and not at all easy. But, then when you feel the pain, you know you're alive and you can sense a glimpse of what it must have been like for Christ to suffer.


So, going forward, I hope to focus more on loving others and hopefully that focus will distract me from my own pain. A less selfish way of being.
