Struggling Well With Life

It’s hard to get motivated to start over.  It’s like playing Monopoly and being sent back on the board to start again.  The first couple of times you can get excited about the game and view the setback as a challenge, but after a while starting over is just downright discouraging.  Though the calendar reveals a new month and a new year, this heart reveals the same man with the same old issues - starting over, coming back, and beginning again. It still amazes and even surprises me that God does not meet me at this starting line again with shame, but with grace.
