Hanging On

The past..what month? Has been so dang hard on me! I try to be optimistic and have a good attitude about the future, and change. But everything builds up, and then gets the best of me. Today, I just want to talk about hanging on. One of my best friends, Sid, has a quote that he seriously lives by!

"Fall Seven Times, Get up Eight."

-Japanese Proverb

Sometimes, this quote is very hard for me to understand.

Sometimes I don't feel as if I can stand up after I've fallen.

Because it's too tough.

But God..will never give you anything you can't handle.

Never.

Even if you [think] you can't get through it,

you can.

Because

"With God, all things are possible."

-Matthew 19:26

Winston Churchill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going."

But I think the perfect quote to describe what I'm feeling right now would be by Mother Teresa.

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle, I just wish he didn't trust me so much."

I always look at other people and think,

"I am so glad that wouldn't ever happen to me...because I know I couldn't handle that."

But soon enough..here comes my trial that I thought I couldn't handle.

The thing is..I thank God for trials. As weird and crazy as that sounds.

Because as I go through that trial, I become stronger.

And I am able to conquer the next trial thrown my way a little easier.

There's this lady's blog I follow who I am utterly obsessed with!

My mom showed this to me. She was a victim in a plane crash and was severly burned.

Her story is truly amazing.

I encourage you all to take a look at her blog.

Read what she has to say.

Watch her videos.

Strive to be more like her.

Your life will significantly change if you do.
