Have you ever felt like you’re coming up against a brick wall? Maybe you know what I mean; maybe you don’t. I’m referring to periods of time that are just plain hard. Things are going on — too many things, in fact, and you feel like you just can’t keep up. Sometimes events are layered on top of each other like a mountain that gets bigger with every sandstorm. Or sometimes, it’s just one very large, seemingly unmovable mountain that won’t seem to budge, no matter how many times you try to find a way around it.
