It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better

When Moses and Aaron go to Pharoah to carry out God’s orders, it doesn’t go as they planned. Instead of Pharoah giving in, he made it worse on God’s people. That’s often the way it is when we approach deep change. Often to make our lives better, we have to first let them feel worse. Pulling out the “weeds” that keep us from growing and becoming is hard and painful. That’s why many people who approach the New Year with resolve quickly fade. No pain, no gain.
