Why me? Why now?!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while...there is a reason. So here's how it is. Life is hard, and then you die. its that simple. Oh yes, I forgot. there are a multitude of happy things that go on in there...but it seems that these days (i.e. finals week) my life is lookin' a bit hard. Now granted, i'm not starving in Africa. or being tortured in Bosnia...but still. Its pretty rough. Thankfully, I have a God who is my friend and sticks closer then anything else.

It feels to me that lately my dad has been saying, "If you can learn these things now..." And it seems like I have the opportunity to learn a whole bunch of fascinating lessons right now!! And while it seems that my life is becoming more complex with all these new lessons to try to weave into my life, I think the best is yet to come.

I guess what I am trying to convey is this: There are difficult things in life. It requires accepting responsibility, learning lessons and then living the results of it. Its hard. No one promised it would be easy. But it is bearable...if you know God. and thats what I'm finally getting. Is that to stick near God will pull me through these excruciatingly hard finals that make NO SENSE and to move on to what my life means long term.
