We have all heard some variation of the phrase that "the hardest things and the right things can be the same." I have most recently come to realize that it is so true in so many ways. I feel that I have recently had to make one of the hardest decisions in my life and do what I felt was right and walk away from a good thing. It has tried my faith in more ways than I thought and although I know that I am doing the right thing, I never realized that it's not only hard, it is also very painful. I believe the song "All at Once" by The Fray captures how I feel by saying:
"... We never know what's wrong without the pain, Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same."
I guess the pain we feel throughout our lives serves a purpose, it's just getting through it can be the hardest part of all.

I hate that they are often one and the same. I want the right thing to the be the easy thing. But it always pays off in the end when we can look back at the hard times and see how we've grown. Pretty profound, huh?
Hence the name of my blog! Apparently I was going through a similar situation when I started it:)
It IS tough, but once you make it through (and you will) you'll realize that even though it was hard it really was the right thing.
Hang in there!
