Let's be real for a moment. (Galatians 4:19-20)

Before we begin, I've always been this blunt, I don't always use the same kind of language, I've just really been hurting lately, and these two verses have been echoing in my heart. Call the balls and strikes of life because sometimes a garbage @$$ is just that. The But GOD that needs to be held to in those places is, yes, it happened, yes it sucked, yes it was totally garbage and shouldn't have happened, But GOD is going to work this for our good and HIS glory. Knowing what I do and having gone through what I have, it sucked to experience, if I hadn't, I wouldn't be able to say in pure joy and hope for all that, "This dead place is not the end!" If you are not dead, HE is not done with you.
So I am sorry if my language offended or the imagery made any uncomfortable, my intent is never to make a brother or sister stumble, I simply have no clue how else to reach the hurting that hear this. When you feel like there is nothing and no hope left, how else can you know there is unless someone who understands can say they were shown the way out.

Stress, hate, fear, worry, none of them are exactly good for the body in extended periods of time, generally you hold onto what causes them long enough and PTSD kinda becomes a thing. With all this world is going through, we have seen a lot, and when we don't try to compare pain but instead offer the stories (testimonies) of where HE brought us through, those who are still walking through that part of the desert can have hope that the promise land is near.
Or do put it another way, start listening to Joshua and Kaleb instead of the other ten spies who say you will surely die in this place because the giants are bigger. We know how GOD likes to deal with giants. ^.^
