'Just Like That.' A phrase indicative of a sudden, ill-timed, acute change in our present circumstance(s). Often referred to as: misfortune. Perfect health one week but dire sickness the next. Laughter today with tears tomorrow. Financially stable last month but struggling to make ends meet presently.
You may frustratingly query: "how did I (or we) end up here!?" Unexpected change (in our lives) brings a myriad of questions and if left unaddressed, can easily cause us to become bitter, cynical and introverted.
Solomon (the wisest and wealthiest man ever to live) had it all. And yet, even he felt the despondency incurred with the weight of ever present 'trouble' and impending death hovering on the horizon.
This week's application challenge?
