WHY CAN'T WE CATCH A BREAK?

Life.  Trouble.  Life.  Misery.  Life.  Success.  Life.  Reason for new anxiety.

Did we inherit the walk of Jesus or of Job?

Yes.

It seems we no more than recover from a setback than a new one presents itself; if not personally, then at least within our circles.

What's happening?

These daily doses of upset are simply mile markers to remind us we are drawing closer to home.  God is our home. 

Breakdown from tension and stress among us is not to be trashed.  It is to be applauded.  My time last night was spent in dealing with alarming threat and nuisance moods from others.  Well, while each is serious, these are no times to be ranting about troubles. 

Enter the resurrected nature of Jesus the calming lamb. 

Why can't we catch a break? 

We aren't supposed to for there is a literal world of hurt at every turn.  Our rest in Jesus is firm, though, because he alone supplies our ability to walk confidently upon turbulent waters even in the fiercest of storms.

I need to remember this.

I am ready for Home, though...

I agree with Jay....

"because he alone supplies our ability to walk confidently upon turbulent waters even in the fiercest of storms."

I just wish the storms wouldn't be so frequent. Seems like my storms aren't life threatning, but sometimes the waves seem to come at the worst times.
