BLOG6: The Strength In You

Week 42 July 22 2011 3:25 p.m.

Many of us often feel low because someone has hurt or betrayed us. I just got out of a relationship and the break up has been rough for me but Im staying strong and getting through it day by day. the pain hurts but it will stop  if you give it time. I hated hearing time heals. because all I could think about was how I felt at the moment and how depressed I was. there were days I wished I didn’t have to live anymore. but I’ve been realizing its okay. and it will be okay. Yes time heals it’s true, but it’s not about time. and the healing. it’s about what you’re living for. I am living for God. and He has a greater plan. greater than my own. I am not living for me. to kill myself would be selfish.
when you’re depressed don’t think about the negative stuff in your life. While that is the easiest thing at the time and all you can think about, you need to stay strong and keep your head held high try to change your perspective. thinking of what you do have and what you ARE good at, what God has blessed you with, is the hardest thing to do when you’re soooo upset but if you take a step back, BREATHE, calm down (pull yourself together) then focus on the blessings and the people who have it worse than you, then you will be able to be happy. Remember this, Don’t do the easy thing, do the Hardest thing, even if it means u suffer a bit or a lot. Sometimes the Hardest thing and the right thing ARE the same. and the hardest thing is what makes you stronger and grow, even if you’re faking the hardest thing at the time.

a friend once said… Fake it til you make it, and this statement is true in many ways.


a few of my favorite life quotes are this
“Even Diamonds start as Coal”
”Even the best fall down sometimes”
”I could have missed the pain, but i'd have had to miss the dance”
”Here comes the sun, and I say, It's alright”

God’s love is so big and you can not separate love and suffering. everyone suffers at some point in their life. some more then others. but if we want to be true christians… or have true love… we NEED to suffer or make sacrifices. it is in that suffering that we love more through our selflessness and it is in that suffering that we are more closely connected to Christ because of what He suffered for us.

You are so beautiful and so amazing. you have so much value. you are here because God wants to use YOU for something greater then you could imagine for yourself. you have so much strength in you. you just have to dig deep inside of your heart to find the true you. dont try to fit in when your born to stand out find yourself and be yourself ... just take time to do you. because you are AAHHHHmazing :] you are so very loved. believe in yourself and your gifts. the talents God gave you. you may think you arent good at anything. i have felt that way many times... but i have found that my talents are more hidden inside of who i am they arent just outwardly things like singing or playing an instrument or sport or acting... theyre deeper they have to do with my personality traits i am super compassionate i can use that gift to serve God on missions trips and make a difference. i can use that blessing to help other people when they need help and i can relate to them. other things like my passion for kids i could nanny or work/volunteer in an orphanage or daycare. i could make a great mom. or even my passion for animals and the fact that writing calms my emotions. i could make a great writer. so you see if you feel useless and like your not meant for anything, like you don't have any special gifts or talents... you do. you just need to find them within yourself. remember you are a princess (or if ur a guy reading this you are a prince)

~AND know this:
YOUR LIFE IS A PRECIOUS GIFT AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL. FIND THE BEAUTY IN YOUR LIFE AND EMBELLISH IT, BUT DO IT WITH A SMILE BECAUSE THEN YOU WILL SEE YOUR WORTH AND YOU WILL LEARN TO BE HAPPY!!!
