Life In The Mud

Sometimes life is just stupid hard. Sometimes it consistently drags you down and it seem that while you’re down and in the mud everyone else is dancing on rainbows and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. And most of the time we are encouraged to drop all of our problems and just move on to find the sun and rainbows. But if you are in the preverbal mud I encourage you to surround yourself with listeners and ambassadors of hope. People who will simply let you cry and be ok with you not being ok. Lots of times we can’t just drop it and move on, humans don’t work like that, we are natural control freaks and worriers. We want to feel like WE solved our problems and WE made everything ok. But we weren’t made to do that. We as humans are made to be together, together with other worriers and control freaks, and in Christ. So He can take all that worry and anxiety to the cross. And this isn’t easy. It never will be. But if we are constantly surrounded by people who are in Christ and in constant communion with other Christ followers then they will help you find the strength to let go, and simply breath without the weight of the world on your shoulders. It is 100% ok to be broken and not ok, but we have to rise above that. We can’t let it hurt our relationships and our health. We can be down but by surrounding ourselves with other followers we are able to find the beauty in everything and the hope in everything. Even the hope in the mud, the hope that one day soon we won’t be in the mud.
