The Law of Polarity states that everything has an opposite. For every bad situation there is something of equal or greater good or benefit on the way.
After about 7 years of marriage, my husband began to get the feeling that there were more things we should do in life. We were comfortable, we had a nice home, and we were just floating through life. Well, about a week or two after telling me that he felt there was more we could do, he just wasn’t sure what. He got a notice that his job was disbanding and he had about 2 weeks to figure out something else. He was very scared because I don’t like strangers, but he knew that he could do more shifts at the hospital if necessary. My husband is very resourceful and he found a new job a week after he found out he was out of a job. But this transition required me to move to a new state and I had to start working full time to make up for the loss of income. We lived in a small trailer with 2 of our children for 4 months while we moved and figured out all the logistics of finding a home. And because of the move I had to let go of my eldest son who was 13 at the time. He preferred to stay in Utah and live with his father rather than move in with us. Life got harder and harder for us while living in Las Vegas, at least for me. At that moment, I simply could not understand why our lives had to change so much for the worse. Working in Las Vegas as an ICU nurse was very hard and stressful for me. I would go 3-4 straight days a week without seeing my family, due to the long hours I worked. I remember feeling so depressed and angry that our life had come to this. We didn’t live, we just survived. After 2 years of this strenuous lifestyle, we found out that my husband was going to be deployed for a year. At this point I was so exhausted and worn out and adding the upcoming deployment was too much so we started arranging for me to move to Utah to live with my mom and she would help me raise the kids while my husband was gone. My husband had been applying to join the military full time for about 7 years and they always let him through, but every year he faithfully applied for him, hoping to join. Well, just before he deployed to his Unit, he found out that he was going to be hired full-time and we were moving to North Carolina in a month. My husband did not deploy and I was able to leave my job immediately. Those 2 years in Las Vegas were hard, but as the Law of Polarity establishes, while things are difficult there are equal or greater blessings. We were able to learn so many life lessons in those 2 years living in Las Vegas that have helped us immensely and have prepared us for other experiences we have had. I didn’t know at the time all the things I was being prepared for and I didn’t understand why life was so hard. I always kept on the go and have been too hurt now to be able to be home and raise my children. We’ve also had the chance to move and live in some fun places like New York and Hawaii. I’m always grateful for the hard times because I know there’s a comeback and there’s something about the hard times that can turn good every time. The faster I remember this, the easier it is to tolerate the bad times.
