News alert: sometimes it's hard to be happy. Sometimes the stack of assignments is taller than the stack of A grades given back. Sometimes the to-do list is longer than the done list. Sometimes the hours of sleep during a week are less than the hours of a day. Sometimes life is just hard.
But I had this little thought: why do we have these hard times? Yeah, I know it's so that we can become better. And I do believe it. Without these times, how would we really be happy, right? But really just think about how you got all these problems you have right now.
Why do I have so much homework? ... Because I'm here at a wonderful university learning fascinating things.
Why am I getting so little sleep? ... Because I'm staying up into the wee hours of the night talking to my roommates who make me better every day.
Why do I have a never-ending list of things to do? ... Because I have so many blessings.
Life is truly beautiful. Sometimes it takes a really hard spurt to jolt us to that reality. But each and every day, I am living. And why am I living? Because Christ died for me. And I can find and dig out the happiness in living because I know that Someone who loves me is in control of it all. And no matter what, I can be happy.
So I will be happy.
