Growing Pains

Recently I ran across this AMAZING blog about the life of a mother.  Not just any ol' mother -- but one who is trying to manage the homelife of her not one, two, three, four, nor five... but SIX CHILDREN and the adventures that accompany it.  Her writing is fresh, witty, and hilarious.  Check out her online journal here!

She made the front page of the the local newspaper in her hometown.  If you've never heard about her, read this article FIRST.  Then it will put her blog posts into perspective!

In light of these ridiculously stories from this very gifted and talented writer, I too begin to wonder myself about life as people get older.  I used to think (and sometimes still do) that growing up is a really hard thing to do, as it often involves change, discipline (most people abhor that!), & increased personal responsibility, to name a few.  But now after reading several of this mom's entries and talking to others that are more accelerated in life, I've come to the not-so-eureka realization:

Life don't get any easier from here on out.



Though the fig tree does not bud
And there are no grapes on the vines,
Though the olive crop fails
And the fields produce no food;
Though there are no sheep in the pen,
And no cattle in the stalls,






Yet I will exult in the LORD,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.










Delivered.

i'm glad u added those verses in the end. sometimes i am sad that life will not get easier and that it is not supposed to be comfortable.  i guess that is what heaven will be for. but more than just the easy and the comfortable.

Thanks for the sub, man!  Life doesn't get easier, but it does not mean that God is any more distant.

thanks for the encouragement Michael.  this week IS better. i posted that is because i thought it reflected the cross in an interesting way.  school is hard and i am trying to decide whether i should drive home for thanksgiving or wait the 3 weeks till Christmas break since i have 2 weeks of exams a week after thanksgiving.  :sleepy:
