There are some things that are hard to fix. They tend to be classified as the hard things of life. You see it coming, you feel the fear. You step into it [because you can't hide your head in the sand.] You do the best that you can. Some will be happy, some will not. Some will understand, some will not. Still you must do what you know, to the best of your knowledge, is the best thing.
When we were kids, the sky was mostly blue and the sun was mostly shining. No shirt, no shoes, no problems. When we became adults, we had to face adult problems. The challenges of adulthood are mandatory. Facing them is optional. We can either be mad and complain because things are not going our way, or we can step in and do everything we can to navigate the pitfalls of the real world. And in case you haven't noticed, the real world has gotten a little bit more real in the last two years.
So we trust God and go to Him in prayer. We lean on our friends. And we wish. We wish we were still 11 years old, sitting at our parents table. We wish that life was free and easy. We wish that we did not have to deal with adult problems.
But you know, there is a joy, a freedom, when we do face life. There is a richness and a savoring that only comes from stepping into the batters box, even when we are facing the toughest pitcher in the league. God is good, and life is good, and as we rest in Him, it will all work out.
Pray as is everything depends on God. Work as if everything depends on you.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Nothing is too hard for God. He specializes in facing the hard stuff of life. This will all work out. And for those of us who do not take the easy way, God continues to make us stronger, in Him. Imagine what facing the hard stuff would be like, if we didn't have Him.
