Postive Thoughts

There is no better saying for my current life situation than "when it rains, it pours."  As stressed as I am with getting all of this work done in 2 & 1/2 weeks my computer decided to also malfunction on me. So it is now in tech support which could mean I won't have a computer for a solid week.  I just pray that they can fix it.  My car also went crazy last week so it is in the shop.  I really feel like the devil is testing me right now but I am not going to let him win.

Here are some postive thoughts for anyone else who may be going through a hard time.

No matter what life brings you there is always something positive you can look to.  In my situation I am thankful for being healthy.  If I was sick on top of everything else I don't know how I would be able to make it. God never gives us more than we can handle.  I truly believe that each trial that I go through is making me a stronger person.  I am much stronger and wiser than I was before I came to college.  I have had my hard times but I can't regret anything because I love who I am today.

Alexander Graham Bell said "When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."  This is such a true and inspiring statement.  It is so important not to dwell on the past and to look toward the future. 

I'll end with a verse and a song that has really helped me get through these past few weeks.

 

James 1:  2-4 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
