The Big Picture

Pain and frustration leave a giant hole in oneself.  Deep down in your marrow, and in your soul.  It feels like your inside had commited suicide, nothing left but a massive void... dead space, locked up with do not enter tape splayed everywhere.  Well fear not for there is a solution to that problem, and that is Jesus.  It isn`t easy, and you don`t automatically have a pain free and frustrationless life.  But rather its like having that painful giant hole in yourself, but it isn`t a void, its filled with the calm, radiating warmth of knowing that their is more to life, that everything will be allright in the end.  No matter what on earth happens to you, no matter how many times you`re kicked in the teeth or dragged through the mud, you can look forward to walking with Christ.

Frustration

When life hands you lemons, you're supposed to make lemon-aid.  But what about when life hands you lemons, then kicks you in the nuts?  There are always ups and downs in life, and at least you can't get any lower when you reach rock bottom... though at rock bottom you could still get kicked in the nuts.  To quote the rather horrible 80s hair band Poison from probably their only famous ballad,  the night is darkest before the dawn, so as I write this rather sad, sad, song(rant) I'm just wondering when that dawn will come.
