Too often we believe the lie that we're not making a difference. We question our purpose. We wonder if where we’re at is where we're supposed to be. We have doubts when things get difficult. Sometimes in the middle of difficult circumstances, things don’t make any sense. What are you supposed to do during those seasons—when you’re worn out, tired and it feels like the challenges will never end?

It's a slow process, but I'm learning that any of the plans that Jesus has for me—no matter how difficult or ridiculous or hurtful they may seem—are always better than the best plans I could ever dream up on my own.

For some reason, I thought today would be an instant ending to all of the difficulties, frustration and sadness I've felt for the past 15 months. I was definitely wrong.

There are going to be awesome days and shitty days. When things suck, and you're busy and overwhelmed, don't forget that your strength is in Jesus. He is the one that called you, and he is the one that will sustain you.
