Moving Forward In A Bog

Yup...this is the scene. You've made it through what at the time seems like the worst thing that could happen. You know that you are still struggling to understand why it happened or how you can fix it. At this time you can't imagine yet that things will get better for you. It does seem like you're moving forward in a bog with no direction.

This is the time to realize how much the Lord has already blessed you. You need to be thankful for the people supporting you, not complaining that things are not going the way you expected them to go.

The above photograph, an autumn scene from last year, reflects my current mood. It seems like everything is dying, yet we all know that spring will come again. Just like I know in my heart that though I'm moving forward in a bog right now, I will see spring again.

I think of this tree, seen here on the left, as symbol of growth and promise of a better tomorrow. I hold onto to hope and press forward to the light.
