in every season

it's been an exhausting couple of months, to say the least. i often find myself just trying to convince my body and mind to keep going. some days it feels as though all i can do is just trudge through it. if i can just make it up the stairs- if i can just make it through this appointment- if i can just make it through this hurt-if i can just make it through these two years- if i can just... make it. i just have to push through. but christ has been doing some amazing things in my heart, too. this life is not just about "trudging" through it. there is no point in that. because this time we spend on the earth, is just a thought, just a glimpse of a second, in the eyes of eternity. and when i think about things like that, in the proper way, there is no worth in me just "trudging" through. that is glorifying no one and nothing, except my brokenness and tiredness. and i have no desire to glorify those things. those are slight, temporary, earthly things, that will die. they will not come with me to my Father's Home. i must keep my eyes fastened to Him- He who will never fade. so i am not going to just "trudge" through this. i am going to dance my way though this time i have on the earth, and i am going to spend every moment of it with my King.
so i am grateful for the ways that Christ is teaching me. i pray that He would never stop showing me Himself in new and incredible ways.

i am grateful that we serve a God who is so worthy. there is no season that i could ever find myself in, that He would no longer be worthy of praise. isn't that incredible? no matter what is going on, and i mean, ANYTHING, He is still God. and we have reason to sing and praise and worship. i find such hope and peace in that. and so today, and tomorrow, and every day, no matter how much is on my plate, what is going on, what is ahead, what seems to be falling apart, i will worship. because He is worthy.
