I'm tired. Insomnia has from time to time plagued me since childhood, but I'm going on a week and a half of not being able to sleep. I'm not telling you this so you can feel sorry for me (but if you do, feel free to send checks, money orders or homemade cookies;) I'm telling you this to make a point. Sometimes you're tired. Sometimes everything seems to be going against you. Sometimes life just stinks! And right now, for me, life is stinkin' to high heaven.
I read a friend's blog today, though, that helped me put a little perspective on things. She recently went on a hiking trip in the Great Smokies of Tennessee and shared some thoughts on hiking and life in this blog. One of the things she pointed out was that, even when the trail is steep and tough, you can rest assured that at some point it will level out--even turn downhill. So true! Life is a journey--a marathon, not a sprint--and there are times like I'm having right now when it's hard. But there are two sides to every hill.
You, too may be climbing right now; or maybe you will be soon. God's not playing a cruel joke on you--you'll eventually reach the top and be able to start down the other side. That may not make it easier to climb, but it sure does give you a reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
