Life Is Hard




There's no getting around it-life is hard. Sometimes it seems as though you overcome one hurdle only to be confronted by another one, or two, or three.  As I prepare to say goodbye to Copenhagen, I find myself reflecting on my own challenges that I experienced while abroad.  My semester was certainly not a walk in the park; I had good days, but also days of deep heartache.  I had to mourn the loss of an important relationship, while simultaneously embracing and maximizing my time in Europe.  These two tasks are not easily compatible.  Everyday I had to make a conscious effort to try to find little joys, whether it be a rare ray of sunshine emerging from behind a cloud or a nice meal at a new restaurant.  

My time in Copenhagen gave me a new confidence and independence that I have never had before.  But most importantly, I learned that God is the ultimate Provider.  He knows my needs and never abandons me.  During both my darkest moments and my happiest moments, God was there. God will always be there.
