Begin again!

"... she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah." 

Ruth 1:7

What do you do when all is lost, life is falling apart, you're at the end of your rope, and you feel like giving up?  Here's what:  Turn to God, get up off your feet, lift your chin, put your shoulders back, take a deep breath, and BEGIN AGAIN!!  

PS. Giving up is not an option!

Good times ahead

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.

-2 Corinthians 4:16-18 MSG

If we can realize that our hard times are all part of God's plans for us -blessings in disguise and all of them worth every second - then life will be a lot less complicated and stressful, and hard times are all they are - simply, hard times.  For when we hold steadfast in Christ hard times are not a big deal because we know they lead to some God-blessed, amazing, good times ahead.   

Praise God!!!
