It's Okay Getting stuck is a bummer. Just for a moment, let’s list a few “stucks”:
Our minds can also get stuck in a rut of one-way thinking — the inability to think our way out of a difficult situation or being stuck in the mental fog of confusion and bewilderment. Crisis is like a gigantic sinkhole ... suddenly, the earth gives way and our lives tumble into a “no man’s land,” and we feel stuck. We’re trapped, craving to get out of the hole, but the Lord doesn’t allow it. It stinks to sink, but while you’re stuck in a hole, keep these in mind:
Sinkholes don’t last forever. Although sinkholes shift and shake us and try to pull us under, they also force us to examine life. If you choose to examine life, to seek wisdom from spiritual directors, support from secure friends, and hide Scripture deep in your heart; you will cultivate a deeper faith, unshakable convictions, more balance, greater hope, tender humility, and an abundance of grace.
