i am facing some things in my life right now.
frankly, they suck.
sometimes i feel like i’ve had a heck of a lot of sucky things thrown at me over a pretty short span of my life. some of those “things” are situations. predicaments. attitudes. some of those “things” are people. no matter what they are, no matter the wonderfulness of the stuff surrounding those things, in this moment, i’m bogged down with the suckage.
i know i’m not the only person going through sucky things. and that at any given moment in everyone’s life, there are things that suck. we learn through them. we grow through them. we discover who we are. who God is. who God is through who we are. we all handle the suckage differently, and we even handle the suckage differently at different times in our lives. i know these things. i know that God uses the suckage. that he doesn’t place it in our lives, but rather the choices we make and the choices of others inflict the suckage. it is the human condition, predicated by free will.
i know.
but the suckage is weighing me down. causing me to question. affecting my sleep, my dreams, my hope. i’m trying not to gripe.
i’m failing.
i don’t do failing well.
time to dig out of the suckage.
how does one do that, exactly?
