Have you ever been completely tired of hearing/reading words of encouragement? Encouragement that's given/shared by others when you are in an unwanted predicament...encouragement that's meant to be caring...encouragement that's obviously sincere...encouragement that's so repetitive that you are wondering why in the hell you are still in the unwanted place of emotional, financial and employment discomfort? It makes you question what you are doing wrong...have done wrong considering your life has been in a rumble for more than a year. For some it makes them question if God's test or plan is really real - and for others they don't believe that God is in the testing business (I definitely don't believe the latter). The waiting on a change or a different result is the hardest part especially when all your efforts have been unsuccessful...or not enough. All of this turmoil weighs on you. It forces some to complete destruction: drug abuse, spousal emotional and physical abuse, complacency, thoughts of fleeing, over/under eating, unusual mood swings, indiscriminate sex, uncontrollable anxiety, harmful behavior that's not apart of your daily activity...there is so much many of us think when we continue to receive Words of Encouragement. Nothing changes for the individual - but the encouragement remains. I guess that's human nature...to care...people actually caring. The funny thing about caring...it is useless to the person who has been beaten...defeated by life's changes. Useless, in the sense that caring is not what the defeated person possesses anymore.

So tired of the caption in the attached photo...so tired!!!!!!!!!!
