Hardship

So, it's been a little fuzzy for me lately. I have tried to see things clearly and understand what is going on in my life, but it's not clear.

In a word, "Hardship" has come my way. It's not overly difficult, it's hard to understand. Sometimes we face difficulty and it's physically demanding, sometimes, like this one for me, it's very cerebral and weighs on your emotions as well.

I was reading about two guys in jail and they were celebrating! Sounds odd but they found joy in difficulty. I want to be like that. James 1:2 says, "consider it pure joy whenever you face trails of many kinds". I am leaning into this hardship and going to grow through it!

Thanks God for taking me INTO and THROUGH the fire!
