I am at a loss for words, the thoughts are there but they fail to present themselves written properly. That said, the following disclaimer applies. I have a previous track record of veering off of a subject so please bear with me as I try to convey my current position. I believe whole heartedly that in all things we have victory, and can do all things, but no one, no not one should ever, ever say this: Being a christian is easy.
Following Christ is hard. It means careful consideration of all things, sacrifice of self, trial and tribulation, and heavy opposition from a world blinded by lies. It means rejection of secularization and pluralistic society for truth that is touted as false. Persecution at the hands of family, friends, employers, and strangers. Facing every facet of our own humanity and coming to grips with our natural depravity and sin nature. Ultimately it means to give up the throne of self.

It's like having the sword and the dragon that is to be slain.
You've the tools and the mission, but you're likely to get scrapped up along the way.
