A Gift?

I think that perhaps struggling is a gift. But it's not a very cute gift. And i'm not very cute going through it!
To come against adversity, when in reality you just want to do something good and beautiful and life giving, makes you either want it more. Or makes you want to throw in the towel.

This morning I wanted to throw in the towel. I was tired of trying to fight the good fight. The problem is I really do want to see restoration in the Gulf Coast because God is into bringing about restoration. And whatever He's doing.That's where I want to be. Adversity or not. Realizing that, is the gift...and the love of God to carry me through is an even greater gift.

That's not to say that I won't continue to be tired, this battle makes the best of folks tired. But it means that today I will try to have the courage to be patient and wait on the Lord.

Let's hope that I feel the same way tomorrow.
