The Occasional Brawl.

Life get's hard.

Fast.

And I shut down even faster.

I have to constantly remind myself that I'm human.

I have to constantly remind myself that it's okay that life is hard.

Bring it on.

But I only have that mentality for a little bit.

The truth is, I am terrified of success.

How dumb is that?!?!?

I am terrified of the vulnerability that it takes to arrive at success.

I am terrified of the risk it takes to get to the successful part.

Thank God for friends! Can I get an Amen?

Thank God for the people that remind you who you are.

Thank God for the people who remind you who he is.

It's amazing to me that I can see little tiny pieces of God in every person I meet.

That's how it's supposed to be right?

When things get rough, you're supposed to seek Jesus in everything...?

So why do I forget?

I don't really have an answer for you other than, the human part of me is really selfish.

The Human part of me lusts for quick fixes, and instant solutions.

My Soul desires intentional process.

It craves the sweat of hard work.

It craves an epic fight for survival.

It craves spinach and broccoli.

It craves the goodness in life that only exists after you face fears head on.

But my Human see's all that daunting difficulty ahead, and tugs at the shirt-tails of my soul, and begs her not to go.

My Human and Soul are in constant brawl.

But thank God for Friends.

Can I get an Amen?
