Today while I was driving to work, just lost in thought it happened.  Okay, let me back up and explain.  A long time ago when I became a Christian I was struggling with some issues and I was so confused at how my Christian friends just "knew" what God wanted from them.  I joked that I'm slow and I need God to leave me a "post-it".  A dear friend of mine sent me a card with a post-it note inside signed "Love God".  So, I'm the silly Christian always looking for that smack me in the head message from the big guy.  

Things have been rough lately.  Not just for me, but for everyone I know.  But, I've been struggling in lots of areas and I haven't been making the best choices.  In fact, I'm pretty ashamed of my lack of, well anything.

So, back to my story.  

I'm driving to work, minding my own business, lost in thought - just trying to get my mood up to make it through the day when I got my "post-it".  

On a sign, at a church no less, was in big as life letters...

When times are trying, don't stop trying!

Have you ever seen "Bruce Almighty"?

This post reminds of when Bruce keeps asking for a sign as he's driving down the road.

Love it.

These are trying times, for so many. I pray that God will surround you with His loving arms and give you the peace of knowing that it's all going to work out, somehow.

I can soooo understand you! I too am going through some hard times and trying to find new meaning in my life. I love the "sign" you received! I guess we just have to take one day at a time!
I hope you have a good rest of the week!
