There are days when things just don't work out like you would like them to or had anticipated. These days usually come unannounced and unapologetically. But they are important and necessary days in our lives. As we wrestle both internally and physically they help us to shape the person we are hoping to become. In the fight against hunger and poverty these 'bad days' allow us to reflect and to identify with those we are reaching out to and serving.
I am attempting to learn to lean into these bad days and allow them to move me closer to the person i need to become spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Especially as i see so much suffering in the work that we do. So.......eventhough we hope to have less and less encounters with these bad days, they seem to be the days that teach us most about ourselves, life, others, and God.
Peace!

Hey, Matt. We all have bad days or devastating moments in our lives. It's not until we get on our face and put our trust and obedience in the Lord that He will strengthen us. These moments in our lives will mature and educate us as we put our lives in God's hands. I am praying for you and the people you so humble devote your time to. Please email me. I haven't heard from you in a while.
