Stormy Weather
Dear Reader,
Sometimes our lives are hectic. Crazy things happen that we cannot predict, and sometimes these things wreak chaos on our lives. Our lives then seem like a constant battle against one thing or another. Everyone reacts to this differently, some panic, and are constantly worrying about what could happen, some resort to anger, and lash out at everyone because they are afraid. Then there are those who are completely calm in the face of chaos. Trusting God to take care of us. One time me and my best friend were talking and she said something that has stuck with me for a very long time, “God will never give you more than you can handle. Even if He does, He is always there to lean on, and to help.” This statement is so true, even if God were to give you more than you can handle, he is there to help, and to take away your burdens. So whenever you are facing stormy weather, remember: God is there. With his help you can face anything. Brave any storm. He is your salvation, and your Best friend, and someone to lean on whenever you feel like you just can’t go on. I encourage you to write down the quote above on a note card, and tape it to your bathroom mirror. Thank you for reading this!

I believe another good thing to remember when you are struggling is that everything always works out and that every situation is temporary. It will pass, it will be ok. Also, focusing on what you are grateful for in this moment, we all have so very many blessings! And this moment..THIS moment, is where you live your life.
Thank you for visiting my website, it’s true that when we are struggling we need to focus on our blessings, and the good things about our life, but a lot of the time when we are struggling reassurances like, “Everything will be OK,” are frustrating, and don’t help because they seem false, or because it doesn’t feel like everything will be OK. When people are hurting they want people to be honest with them, and a lot of the time, people aren’t. Sometimes it takes hardships to bring us closer to our Heavenly Father, and that’s fine. A better reassurance might be, “I don’t know that everything will be OK, but I know that God is with you, and He knows what He’s doing.
