looovin, is what I got

sweet and low

Work was utterly exhausting today. Towards the end of it, I felt physically sick, a sort of pain in the pit of my stomach from my knowing that though I got a lot done, I have so much more to do. Unending mountains of work, with even more tomorrow. 

But I admit, I kind of like situations that hurt. Situations that test and stretch me to my breaking point, physically and mentally. Because I know that this is where a lot of the charm in life lies. Sometimes I kind of want struggle because, to be honest, a flatline life is quite boring.

Life is beautiful in all its aspects because of the up’s and down’s. I can’t appreciate pleasure if I’ve never gone through pain, success is all the sweeter because I know the taste of failure and I enjoy company because I know how it feels to be lonely. I see that the Lord has us go through relaxing and difficult times in order to teach us, and I want to have the right heart to listen.

And come tomorrow (Lord willing), I want to wake up and do it better than I did today.
