All days are special.
Some days are really great.
Other days are just hard.
Why are they hard? Sometimes there is particular thing that makes them hard, but at other times, they are just hard for a pile of reasons and no certain reason at all.
These days seem to be a little harder than others have been. I'm reaching that plateau in language and not seeing too much progress. I'm enjoying my new apartment but it feels like there will never be a time when everything is done. I'm craving Sonic and Chili's and Papasito's. I'm missing birthday parties and other special events.
These days will pass. I know they will. I know He has called me here and I don't want to be anywhere but in the center if His will. I know there are great days ahead, so I press forward, straining toward the finish line, knowing that He is faithful in all things.
May we look back and be reminded of His faithfulness and press forward trusting that same faithfulness.

"When you are depressed, because it feels like everything is going against you, you are almost always unable to see signs of hope... God has ordained that hard times are to come into your life, and your emotions are sinking lower and lower, your vision is becoming very impaired. Naomi could not see signs of hope... that's what happens to you, by the way, which is one reason why you need each other, why being together in ministry is so crucial. You try to go off by yourself and do ministry you're gonna crash... if you don't have somebody coming in your darkness, and just gently, not in a cavalier way, saying 'Praise God anyhow,' but in a deep, strong, earnest, biblical way, take you by the neck and say, 'I know you can't see hope right now, but I can, and I am with you, you will see it soon.' That's what has to happen." --J.Piper, Ruth: Sweet and Bitter Providence
