Why is this so hard?

My question of the day..

Why does life have to be so hard sometimes?

And honestly I know I have nothing to complain about.  Our "stuff" is minor in comparison.

But, lately it just seems like I get knocked down by something every single day and that is making life seem hard.

It's hard b/c we can never seem to catch a break...never seem to get a breath.

No secret that I have been worn for a long time...but now I feel I am near breaking point.  I would like to say it's just me, but I think Kev is near the end of his rope too...and I know one of our children is as well.   

I am grateful spring break is here today, but I fear the week will fly by with no rest for the mind and body...and that will be disappointing.  I am just so used to being knocked down that I can't even get my hopes up.

I think God is trying to teach me something about life right now.  I am stubborn so I am not quite certain I am listening. I think He knows He needs to knock me down in order for me to rest.  Why do I have to make life so hard? Maybe that is the real question.

Praying for change...and my willingness to relinquish control.
