Day in and day out.
Over and over.
The sun sets.
The sun rises.
And we keep going because we should.
It’s the way of the world.
Despite the loss, the pain, the failure.
We were made to endure the thing that tries to wear us out … if we want to.

May has been incredibly beautiful where I live.
Snow flurries were around at the beginning, but then, spring broke through and pushed away the lingering cold.
When the snow melted and the first green poked through the cold, wet ground, I was filled with fresh hope. The daffodils I planted in the fall woke up from their long sleep, popping their sunny heads all around. But then my heart sank to see my favorite purple and yellow tulips did not survive.
Our life ebbs and flows with beauty and devastation. And yes, some losses are bigger than lost tulips.Yet, God is over all of it.
All of it.
Seeing is believing.
