a day with a midwife from Richard Simmons on Vimeo.

do i often answer my own questions? yes.

why does life suck sometimes?

because Jesus said it would.

{James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 1:6-7}

why do i have to sacrifice sometimes?

because Jesus sacrificed everything so i could have life.

why am i surprised when things are hard?

because the world tells me that everything should be easy.

why do i choose to believe the world?

because i have an enemy who is subtle.

but he's so unoriginal.

seriously man.. i can see you comin from a mile away.

God is stronger.

do i always feel this truth? no.

does that make it any less true? no.

God is more creative.

he speaks to the individual.

he loves endlessly.

i expect hard things to happen.

does it make it any easier when they do? not much.

can i trust in a faithful God? mhm.

clinging to this truth.
