the worst moment

over the last few years, i have witnessed that everytime we make a statement along the lines of being content or seeing our finances level out, our life or pocketbook immediately heads for trauma. i'm not actually as bent about this as i used to be, as i have almost come to expect it. i'm curious if there is something to it though. is God holding back the tides of tumult when we are not in a place from which we could recover? allowing things to crash in only once we have a sure footing?

i don't really have a lot to say on the subject. more i'm curious.

    i would go with the first question...

    the second i think may be something else.. let you know if i come up with something more concrete.. and hopefully helpful.

    and for obvious reasons, i share your frustration. top

    Every inhale needs an exhale. Every summer needs a winter. This ebb and flow of life isn't simply necessary, it is desirable. I think the error is in assigning wrongness or 'worstness' to these moments. This isn't just about perseverance in the face of something, either. This is about an embracing. Leaving the beatings with a natural joy in your heart and not a forced one. top
