The Constant Struggle
The constant struggle I have found in life is positivity. Staying positive and living for what you want out of life, in spite of what you get, is a hard task! Sometimes I get so tired of hearing “When life throws you lemons, make lemonade.” I mean how easily said is that than it’s actually done!?Here’s the lesson here: Life is hard and just because you are a good person, have a relationship with God, work diligently, and have a lot going for yourself, does not mean you will have a walk in the park in this thing called life! Yes, I would say I am blessed & highly favored, but I constantly have to struggle to keep my spirits high, positive vibes flowing, and staying encouraged when life gets tough on me.
What I have learned is while it’s a struggle, it’s a struggle worth while for me to endure whatever pain or hardship I am experiencing. I learn so much about myself, life, and what I’m made of when I go through tough points. Sure, I wish I didn’t have to suffer sometimes, or be heartbroken, or have bad days, but without all those things who am I? I would even ask “who is God?” if I never went through, because I wouldn’t even know what He was capable of to see me out. In case you didn’t know- God is AWEsome! (Just thought I’d share that real quick)
Life is difficult to stay positive in 100% of the time, but it’s your testimony in the end. Are you going to testify to something negative or endearingly positive? Your choice!
Be Blessed

I’m so tierd of life and people, and the constant uphill battle of life— I wish god would see that I’ve suffered enough,, and now its my turn to be blessed so I could rest and catch my breath . It seems like my whole life,, I’ve been dealing with shocking,, unbelievable,, unwarranted,,, disappointing situation’s
I wish for once the opposite would happen,, that I would be pleasantly shocked and in disbelief about something wonderful happening in my life!!!! It seem’s that I must have done something pretty bad in a past life,, to warrant this….
It would also be
nice if God could let me know what I did in my past life so at least I could make some kind of sense to it!! I’m a kindhearted,, honest,,,giving, loving,, church going person,,, that’s tierd of the battle and the fight in dealing with evil people in this world,, who seem to be doing just fine,,and dandy and content and happy!!! how does that work??? that go figure!!! Thank’s Peace!!!

Hi Mike,
I am just now seeing your response and I apologize for my tardiness because I see that you were/are hurting. I hope this message finds you well… All I can think to say is maybe your pain is for a plan. God uses us for a greater purpose, and usually it’s through our trials & tribulations. I know that it is difficult to see “evil” prosper and seemingly be doing well. I say “seemingly” because things of this world are not forever; it doesn’t last; it’s not fulfilling. You never know someone’s true story; perhaps the “evil” people aren’t happy and content- they are hurting on the inside and may feel very empty.
I have learned not to focus on what “good” you think the “evil” is getting, because it’s just a mirage. Seek God and truly put your love & trust in Him. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the the morning. God won’t ever turn His back on you Mike, so don’t turn yours on Him. Hold tight!
Much love & blessings to you!!!
