Hi, this is Stacey Eldridge. Welcome to the Ransom Heart Podcast. It's my joy and privilege to be sitting

here in the studio again hosting today's podcast. So welcome listeners. For those of you that were with us last time or weren't

we are continuing a little two-part series on choosing our hard and I'm here with Stacey Burton and Alex Burton so welcome

back you guys thanks for coming back choosing hard yeah you are coming back

yeah you are. are.

Yeah you are.

Choosing to be vulnerable.

Choosing to admit that life is not always a bed of roses.

Yes.

So we ended last time, just both of you shared beautiful stories, and if you didn't listen to it,

go back and listen to it on places where God has called you to choose our heart and both of you shared places

relationally.

Alex and your marriage and same with you Stacy and with your children and then

also that all ties into our relationship with God.

Right.

So continuing with our conversation and just admitting together that life is hard and there are

difficult choices to be made moving toward our spouse moving toward a friend when conflict is the path, like you have to have that

hard conversation, or not have that hard conversation and then have the distance creep in and the

uncomfortableness and something that I've been thinking of lately and I would love

your feedback on this. Do you ever feel like when your life is hard that you're doing it wrong?

That's a knowing little time. I think that's the first reaction that I have when life is hard.

Like what am I doing wrong?
