The Best Way Out

"Two Worlds II" (oil on canvas) by Jessica Bentley, Artist

Life is full of seasons. And, some of those seasons are grueling... shame, fear, grief, illness, insecurity, loss, persecution... and the list goes on. At times we feel paralyzed by what's happening in our world -- with those around us or what's happening to us -- inside our bodies or our minds. 

My first thought when facing a tough season has often been a question which is probably asked often by many people, "What's the fastest way to get through these seasons?" 


Perhaps the question of what's the BEST way out is what we should be asking. What about the lessons we learn in the journey? What about the strength & confidence we gather when we are successful at making it through a particularly rough season? So what IS the best way to get beyond the tough times in life? Robert Frost has a great quote about the best way to handle life's challenges:
