Sometimes life.

via This Kind of Love

Sometimes life has a way of sucking the air out of your lungs. 

Sometimes it isn't pleasant, it isn't fun, and it isn't everything you always dreamed it would be. 

Sometimes it takes all that you have to pull yourself from one moment to the next.

Sometimes you look back and realize that somehow you thought things would be easier.

That you wouldn't have the struggles.

Or the heartaches.

That your life would be different than the others.

That you were immune from it all.

Immune from life,

And all the pain that it brings with it.

And after awhile, 

You pick yourself up,

And dust yourself off,

And realize that you can still go on living.

That there is still life out there.

That things could always have been worse.

And then you thank God

For his Grace.

His Hope.

His Love.

His Perseverance.

His Patients.

His Kindness.

And His Forgiveness.
