I haven't blogged on here in forever. I don't even know what I
will say.
Let me just start by saying that life is
good. But life is hard. I often find myself easily discouraged and sometimes I
think it's a little ridiculous. I have been blessed with so many amazing
things. I have the greatest friends and family. My friends have especially been
helpful and loving while I've been at college. I don't know what I would do
without them. I honestly owe most of my happiness to them. I know God placed
them in my life for a reason and I am SO incredibly thankful.
I don't understand why I get easily
discouraged. I have so much to be happy for. I think it's because
discouragement makes us reach further towards our goals. We don't like being
discouraged so we try harder and harder to move on and make our lives better.
That's the point of life; to move forward and do greater and better things. How
boring would it be if we just stayed in the same place in our lives? I know we
would all be depressed. There would be nothing to live for. What would be the
point?
Goals are good. Righteous goals are even
better. I believe that if you have righteous goals, God WILL help you achieve
them. God is so willing and able to help us. We just NEED to ask.
I don't know about you but I need God
always. I wouldn't make it through the day. I don't understand why I struggle
but I know I need to humble myself and ask for help because I cannot do
everything on my own. No one can do anything on their own. This is why God puts
certain people in our lives. They can uplift us to places we couldn't reach on
our own.
"The Story" by Brandi Carlile inspired this post. I love this song.
"Your struggle is just a part of your
story." I know this is so completely 100% true. I know my struggles have
contributed to who I am today. My struggles are not me but they have made me
have greater faith and confidence in the Lord. He will help me overcome my
struggles always. My story is a long one. I have gone through a lot. I know my
story doesn't even compare to others but it's my story and it has been a hard
for me. Some people may not have been able to make it through the things I have
and I know I would not be able to make it through some of the things others
have. This is why everyone's story is unique. It is a wild combination of good
and bad, happy and sad. We can all overcome our struggles. They add to our
stories and we can just check them off a list. Each struggle a paragraph. Each
piece of happiness is a chapter.
