What is the price of becoming who God created you to be?

I felt like I was doing everything God asked me to. I was following His plan for my life, but yet, life had never been more difficult, filled with disappointment and loss kept showing up at my door. I couldn't help but question why things were so difficult when I felt like I was being true and loyal to God's plan for my life. 

Then...I realized the truth God was giving me and what becoming was really about.
