Life

Life is.. well, life. It sucks, it's hard, but it's all worth it in the end. Or is it?

I'm here to tell you that it is!!

Life stinks. It just does. So many heartaches, broken promises, and lonely nights fill the cracks and crevices of life. But, looking at the whole picture, you can't see the cracks. 

In all reality, what we will remember are the fun, joyful moments in life. I made my sister a pillowcase 4 years ago for Christmas, and she was happy to return the favor this past Christmas. Definitely a tender moment I won't forget. The friends you had in elementary and middle school may have gone away, but the fun memories won't. 

Your education is pretty much the only useful thing from 12+ years of school. Sure, you had tons of friends that will keep in touch, but the most important thing is family. After you start a family, that will be your life. The moment you get married to the love of your life, the first time you hear your child laugh, the moment you send them away to school, that's what makes life worth it. The trials and challenges you have now? Grin and bear it. God gives them to you because He knows you can handle it. 1 Corinthians 10:13. 

“Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.” 

Jeffrey R. Holland has some wise words. 

Life is worth it. I promise. 

It might not make sense now, but it will eventually. Just trust God. He knows what He's doing!

Love,
