life's not always good

Monday, July 10, 2017


i consider myself i pretty happy person. life is good, Jesus is good, so i'm good. right?

well this is true sometimes (hopefully more than not!), but life isn't always good.

the truth is life is hard,
 things don't always go the way you want,
sometimes you just want to cry,
the truth is sometimes you just ask "why God??"

i think we can all agree on this, but sometimes i think we try to ignore the fact that life isn't always good!

 we live in a world where social media exist, so i feel like we sugar coat things. we only show the great parts of our life, not always the struggles or feelings that are really happening behind the picture you just posted of you @ a cute coffee shop. i think it's important that we don't skip over the fact that Jesus tells us that we will (not probably) face trials and difficulties. Jesus says,

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33

Jesus is saying that in him you will have peace, but you will still face the difficulties of the world. that's why it's called "the world" & not "heaven"! Jesus also tells us that He has overcome the world and EVERYTHING in it! if that doesn't just make you want to smile & dance around, then i don't know what does!

another thing with social media is it creates a look that everyone's got their stuff together. well that is far from the truth! i'm sure someone could look at your pictures on Instagram & think "wow! she does so many fun things" or "oh my goodness i love her hair!" just as you were complaining to yourself about how you are sooo bored & your hair is having a tough day. so you have to put this in perspective of what people think your life is & how you think everyone else is living.

so the good news is, you're
not alone! every single person has their own set of problems they deal with. some peoples bigger than others, but everyone has some sort issue.

the truth is, life is good until people disappoint, heartbreak happens, and things don't go the way you planned...it's just the way it is & ya got to live with it sadly.

you're probably thinking "jordan why do you keep saying how bad life is??" i'm not here to tell you that!! i want to give you a little hope :)

life is hard, but Jesus is strong!!!!

He is our refuge when times are hard.


He is our protector when times are scary.


He is our light when times are dark,


& He is our friend through every second of it.


because of the strength and hope that our Heavenly Father gives us, we don't have to look upon hard times and run. we can walk into the battle knowing that the King of all Kings is on our side. He is not just fighting along side you, He is inside of your heart setting it on fire to give you strength to face all the trials you come upon.

xoxo, j
