Life is cyclical, and sometimes chaotic. We go through periods of growth, hardships, renewal, sometimes in neat orderly cycles, and sometimes it feels like everything is happening all at once – growth in one area of life, decay in another, complete transformation in yet another aspect of life.

Life is hard; at times, it can feel like we’re pushing against the current getting nowhere. It seems rational to find and take the easy way through it all. Afterall, why make it harder than it has to be? In our teaching, we often want to navigate a challenge “with ease and grace.” But, what if it’s not meant to be easy; what if the rough water, the struggle, is exactly what we need?
