Sunshine and Roses - Not

Last week was almost more stressful than I could stand. Everything regarding work seemed to be one disaster after another and life at home proved to be difficult as well. Each day I arose thinking it would be better than the day before, but a new challenge would present itself. I sent a text message to my best friend on Thursday about having a rough week and that I guessed I was due. She texted back, "TRUE" and I laughed.

James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

We all know that life isn't always sunshine and roses. It's just hard not to let yourself feel overwhelmed when it pounds on you day after day. However, I didn't give up. I kept working on my problems, plugging away in search of solutions. After 4 days of high stress, I finally started to feel that something began to turn by midday Friday. I was able to finish the work week on a positive note and was so thankful to have a two day break to unwind.
