hmmmmmm yes. Beautiful...but it's still tough even with the true encouraging quotes. SOmetimes quotes get me through. SOmetimes I still cry, "take this cup from me" and I don't think that is bad because if Jesus did it in all his human ess , I (who is way less of a strong human facing lesser things) am allowed to have those moments too and be encouraged that the son of God gave us that example because he knew how tough it can be. He wept. He knew. He wept at his friends funeral even though he knew he would raise him up. He wept for the other's hurt. I think it is so okay to have these moments. And then there is great joy and peace at this age too. It will come as surely as the sun.
