life-is-hard

I honestly wish I could believe that things will end perfectly with one big bright happy ending. But these last few days have taught me that life isn't made up of shiny moments. Life is hard; it's gritty. One day you are filled with joy and the next, you are crawling through the muddy trenches with no inkling of when you might be able to climb your way back up again. ~Willow Mosby (Exposing ELE)

Man is dust. Rue is rain. Life is mud.

If rocks did not persevere under heat and pressure, they would never become diamonds.

The Gospel isn__ a life management program. It shouldn__ merely be the crutch we fall on when life gets ugly. It should be the legs we walk on, the air we breathe.
