guess what

Does this ever happen to you?  "What's wrong?" You just say "nothing", because it's easiest.  But really, you want to say, "I'm just having a hard time."

I'm just having a hard time.  Sometimes, words escape you.  You don't really know why you're having such a hard time, but you are.  I guess that's sort of where I am at.

I'm just having a hard time.  I'm really not exactly sure why.  I can't really pinpoint what's in my life that's causing me to have a hard time.  Maybe it's nothing.  Maybe I'm just making things harder than they have to be.  But maybe it's something.  Maybe it's waiting.  Maybe it's patience.  Maybe it's expectations and hopes.

I'm just having a hard time.  Life right now is of those things where once this trial over, I'll realize exactly why.  Why I'm just having a hard time.  Why waiting and patience and expectations and hopes made me just having a hard time.  I guess I just have to get through it to realize why I'm just having a hard time.

Guess what, I'm having a hard time.   But: 'Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.  Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish.  Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.' Psalm 25:16-18
