sometimes life just becomes too much. and it almost always seems like it blindsides me when i least expect it. and i get to the point where the Lord is just screaming at me to pray. pray for the hard situations. pray for others. that ALL i can do is pray. and pray. and pray some more. and trust that His will always prevails and not my own. as hard as that is sometimes and as unfair as it seems in some situations.

and while i am praying wait patiently for His promises. or for His light to come and just take me home. at the end of the day, that is what this life is about and i feel like sometimes he uses hard situations to remind me of that.

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 1 John 2:15-17
