Never, Never Land

Couldn't I just move to Never Never Land where no one has any rent payments, or car repairs, or any grown up issues with responsibility and workplace politics? Or better still, why couldn't we all just get along and not be always going after our own angle- especially when our job is at a Christian School. But I guess thats impossible- personalities will always conflict, and since everyone is in different classes, not everyone will always see eye to eye on whats important. Its so easy to let the small things overhwelm us and alienate us from each other. We just have to keep in mind that the devil rarely comes at us with obvious sins- "Choose now to steal this child's puppy!" BUt rather he will attack us with the smaller details, over and over until we weaken and fall into discontent and disunity. It seems like every major relationship that I have right now is going through a major time of intensity- both for the good and the bad. I was talking about this to Scott H. on our way home from Kortnie's wedding (Which rocked in case I haven't mentioned it) and I had said that I was worried that God had me in training for some sort of major conflict- and that though I appreciated the training I'd rather just not have the conflict at all. I'm trying to keep in mind what he told me- "It will all be worth it. It will all be worth it." Maybe if I chant it a few more times I'll actually believe it.
