I have to be honest... recently life has been a crazy mess, and the mess doesn't seem to be getting any easier, or truthfully any harder.
Right now life is just one big ball of chaos...
If I was being honest, what I want someone to say is that there is an easy fix and it will all just go away. just pray this prayer, read this book listen to this message, just do ________.... and it will all go away....
but as my mentor explained to me the other day.
the problem with things "just going away," is... it doesn't solve the problem or teach you anything. you don't learn any more reliance on the Lord or new forms of discipline or things you "do" need to change... you don't learn anything... the truth is sometimes rushing out of a struggle or a problem, leads you to miss out on what you could have learned....
A great leader once said to me... [while I was going through a tough time, I wanted to just be over...I wanted to feel "normal" again... to go back to the way things "were"....]
"it would be a shame to go through all this and be the same on the other side, wouldn't it???"
