Yes, things could be worse. Chances are if you've ever said this, things ended up getting worse. Well, this sentence could definitely sum up the past few weeks for me. Just when I get to a point I can finally rest for a moment, the storm called life redirects it's path right my way! I am trying to stay as positive as I can, but it's hard at times. And people always say, ”it’s okay to not be okay” but I still have this thing in my mind that tells me I can't break. I have to stay strong. I don't know why I have a need to keep everything together, but I'm sure I can't be the only one. And I am all the time telling myself and being told, ”everything happens for a reason” or ”God’s got a plan for all the madness” but I can tell myself this a million times, but it doesn't make me feel better. Sometimes there are no words that will make you feel better. A lot of times it has to just process. And If you are a Grey’s Anatomy fan, you will get this. When Merideth said, ”The carousel never stops turning” she wasn't kidding!! Life is at a constant speed. No matter how bad you want it to just stop for one minute, just to simply catch your breath, it just keeps going. My only question is, Does it ever slow down?

Have you ever thought about what your life may look like if one person wasn't in it, or if an event never took place? I find myself doing this often. I'm on my walk right now and this is when I take time to think about everything. All of the ways God has blessed me and how these blessings that pour out trump the trials in my life. I personally feel like your life is defined by 1.) the perspective at which you look at different things, and 2.) the people you keep around. Life is a big circle of events. I like to look at one of the days that transformed my life. The day I was invited to attend youth class at Stewart's Chapel. What would have happened if I had never gone? Well I know for sure Anna would be my best friend. I never would have met all the people who have shaped me into who I am today. I more than likely wouldn't have met my boyfriend. But, if I dig deep enough, and think hard enough, If I never went to Stewart’s Chapel and embraced and accepted the Christian lifestyle, my dad would probably still talk to me. You see, my dad resented me when I became a Christian. But, while losing a father I gained a Heavenly Father, whose love knows no borders. And that is how I look at things. If I didn't, I don't know where I would be today. Ever since I started looking at life in this way, I have become more grateful for the finer things in my life. So, I firmly believe that life is what you make it. How are you making yours?
