I MATE FLIES

 Today...was a great day (despite forgetting my credit card at H-E-B, my first thought "ASHLEY WHERE ARE YOU?! YOU SHOULD BE HERE, ITS YOUR FAULT....lol)

The week though.. eh not so great. (I am mating flies in Genetics. Yes that's what I have been doing all week. I smell like fly-nap)

When the Lord says to not "be weary of His reproof" I forget not to be weary. Life is hard.

I think we forget that. We want to believe every day will be merry and blissful! That's just not reality.

It is good though despite the fact we may have bad weeks, bad days, nightmarish years...that we still have Faith. For True Faith isn't based on emotions nor moods.

It takes a Great Faith, to be a Christian. For if we close our eyes and pretend the world is okay and stay in our "bubbles" we are sadly mistaken. Sadly disillusioned. Sadly outside of Reality. When we see the injustice, when we see the chaos, and brutality of this fallen world. How can we not question, Why? Habakkuk did. Seriously, our Faith will be tested! Jesus said it best, "In this world you will have tribulation". It will happen. We shall all be exposed.

Ah life is hard.

We have got to put down the "How To Be A Better Christian Books". And pick up the Bible. Seriously, ever read Job?
