why...

"Why me?" "Why does this always happen?"

I think so often we find ourselves asking this question. If not for us, maybe for someone else. We get down and esentially become miserable. Something eats and eats at us because we let it.

In a sense, as long as we are living on this earth we will always be pulled out of our comfort zone to some degree. It is not until we leave that circle that we learn and grow. If we become determined to stay inside as process called entrophy begins to take over. We become stagnant and decay sets in.

In this life I believe we either progress or digress. I would rather move forward, as hard as it is sometimes. When I get to feeling sorry for myself I think of DyC 121. The Lord tells Joseph that all the experiences he is having will be for his good. Then the Lord says something poingnant: "Thou are not yet like Job." Wow!

I figure that when my life gets to be like Job's life, then I will have reason to cry. Until then I need to ask the Lord what I need to learn and move forward. Life is hard, but it is much easier with the gospel in our lives.
