Life

So... in my recent "travels" of life I've come to some conclusions... don't mind if i share. Life is really stinkin' hard... and if you've not yet come to this realization then you've probably not yet reached the maturity level to really take any of this to heart.  For a while i was a little bit... ok alot depressed about this fact... but after careful study of my own self and the bible, i  realized that it helped NOTHING for me to dwell on the crap that i daily go through... i mean why not just ignore it (if there's nothing to be done about it) and have the most fun possible whenever possible. when i do face pain and trouble... it's now only by talking to god all the way through that i make it without melting to the floor in pain... but that's ok for now. because it's outcome so far is that it pushed me to a whole new level of reliance. on god and true friends. there're so many things that i could have, and should have let go completely to god... i still have to bear a heavy load, but it's a TON easier with someone who's carrying me and the load (i know that sound super cheesy... but i'm being real)  we'll always have crap to go through, that's just something that comes with sin. but if we can just learn to not dwell on everything that weighs us down... life can be made fun sometimes... i'm not saying that life can easily just become one big Jesus loving party either... we do still have a lot of really crappy times. i guess the only legit way to put it is "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)  there's nothing we can do on our own to rid ourselves of problems that we can not solve... but we can leave the worrying up to god (so to speak).
