Life's Tests

Why life have to be so hard? Sometimes it seems that you found happiness that there a wall in your path. A wall blocking an easy route to true happiness. I'm beginning to think these walls are tests of life. Tests of faith, love, trust, strength, endurance, and the list goes on and on.

I think tests can determine the character of a person. A person can walk up to wall they see and make a choice. They can chose to take a different path or tear down the wall. Life is about choices. The choices we make wither good or bad can affect ourselves, our families and our lives. The problem is, we don't know what the future holds for us. No crystal ball or tarot cards. Just faith.

Each test can be challenge. A challenge that sometimes can reap many rewards and happiness. Sort of like struggling to ace a math test. You feel great when that happens. A rewarding feeling well earned. A wall torn down. As I'm struggling through my challenges, I'm praying for the best outcome...



This song, a personal favorite, is about challenges...

The challenge to make the right choices is always hard..somehow I always listen to my heart..if I don't, there will be times later I will regret it..but some times not listening too much to myself happens to be the best thing. Good luck Drew..

Hey drew. Hope you are doing ok. Sometimes we want things to resolve themselves too quickly. Life is the long haul. I really believe everything happens for a reason.

Relax and move slowly. When you are in the thick of things, emotions muddle everything. Clarity often comes with a little distance.
