• Yet man is born to trouble
  as surely as sparks fly upward.
  --Job 5:7

  My friends tell me I've been through a lot in my short lifetime.  They say that they've never had to withstand anything stressful or tumultuous or overwhelming as I have.

  And yet, now that I am in the state I love, I find myself in a funk, more unmotivated and stressed and overwhelmed than I remember being when everything with my emotions and my family and my friends was going on.

  I don't understand, and I don't know what I can do to fix it at this point.  But I learned something else from Job.

  But if it were I, I would appeal to God;
  I would lay my cause before him.
  --Job 5:8

   

  As surely as sparks fly upward.

   

  Philippians 4:13
