"You were given this life so live it well"
“You
were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.” That
quote has helped me many times in my life. Especially during difficult or
stressful times when I feel overwhelmed or incapable of handing a situation I
am given. We have all heard the phrase that “God doesn’t give us more
than we can handle.” I happen to believe that is true. I will admit
that there are days when I want to look toward heaven and say “What the heck
are you thinking!?! I am SO not capable of this!” But whenever I do
this it is like a little voice whispers back to me saying “Yes you can…I won’t
give you anything you are not capable of handling.” And that whisper
gives me the courage to keep trying…to keep moving forward. Because we
have to trust that the man upstairs knows us better than we know
ourselves. We have to trust that He knows our strengths and our
weaknesses and he knows exactly what experiences in this life are going to help
mold us into the very best that we can be.
Now that being
said, do I always like the experiences He puts me through? Heck no! Some
of them are straight up hard and the last word to describe them would be fun,
they are painful and sometimes even sad. But what I cannot deny is that
when I look back at my life and the experiences I had I can clearly see that He
was teaching me and molding me and preparing me for each future situation ahead
of me. And the times I can honestly say I feel the most proud about are
the times when I made it through a situation that I didn’t think I was capable
of getting through. It is a good feeling to overcome a challenge or
trial. It is like this sense of “Hey, I did it! That was me!”
Life is full of
ups and downs but I have learned that what matters most is to enjoy the ups and
be grateful for every single one of them, and try to endure WELL the
downs. By enduring well I mean try to do your best and try to learn from
every hard part of what you are going through. Try and grow and change
for the better from each hard experience you face.
That is my thought exactly to all the new students enroll in Pathway.
Con amor,
Vero
