I got this piece of advice from a friend today and it really hit home with me. She said, “Enjoy your life. You never know when your shit will hit the fan.”

She knows what she’s talking about. Life is fragile and brutal and amazing and beautiful and you never know what might happen next — good or bad. I am reminded of this every so often when something bad happens to someone I love. Life is hard. We are challenged and tested at every turn. Some challenges are easily overcome; some seem insurmountable. 

Today, I am grateful for everything that I have, including faith in a God I cannot see. He continues to bless me even when I look up to heaven and say, “WTF?!” Because you know I do.
