Life is absolutely terrible. Never have I experienced a semester with more pain, suffering, and tears.
This is not a post to say I’m still happy because God is around. No, Christians are allowed to be under stress, Christians are allowed to cry. Jesus was a man of sorrows. Ecclesiastes specifically says there is a time for weeping.
Life is so hard right now. I’ve lost so many things and even people that were so meaningful to me within the past couple of months, even weeks, but God is good. I have no idea how, but God will be glorified through all of these things. I won’t say I am exactly happy right now, but there’s a sweet comfort in knowing that God is doing things with my life.
So God, use me as you see fit. I will praise your name even through the grinding of my teeth and the blood, sweat, and tears.
