Some people gotta learn the hard way...

You know that old DC talk song? In youth group my friends used to joke aorund saying that was the theme song from my life. I don't think I've changed much since then...

A friend said to me the other day, "I like how all your stories are about how hard the circumstances were but GOD pulled you through. Like all your stories."
I didn't really know how to respond at the moment so I simply smiled and laughed a little, not denying it because it is true I think. After a while I was thinking about it again and I wondered why all my stories follow that pattern.

I think maybe I am a slow learner.

If I would just obey GOD and learn to be joyful no matter what the circumstances then it wouldn't seem so hard at the time. For some situations that I go through anyway. Or maybe if I trusted GOD more then my life stories would take on a different theme.

I just don't know quite yet.
