finding strength

this is another really random note by me, but most of my notes happen that way because i get bored or have all this stuff build up in my head and i decide to just write it out. sometimes i keep it to myself but other times i write so others can see it because i hope it reaches someone and means something to them. i'm all about giving people hope that they don't think they have...

life is crazy. it's never predictable ever, and thank goodness we have God to help us with all of that. but for those who don't always understand why things have to happen the way they do, i think it's because things have to change. what i mean is...as we get older we move to another level in our lives, most of us just finished our freshman year of college and grew in so many ways, ways we didn't even know were possible. some may feel like they aren't the person they were before and were scared to go home and not have anyone understand. i for one know i was that girl. i went away to college and had such a crazy year. for as much as i feel i lost, i gained some.something i've learned to find is my strength. i've learned that strength comes from deep within. strength comes from faith, a faith in our wonderful savior Jesus Christ that withstands even the hardest times. strength comes from the friends that you thought you lost, but will always have, the ones that seem to always know you and will always be there right when you need them. everybody has strength inside them, even when they think they don't...someone will prove to you that you do. 

don't be afraid of life's changes. don't be afraid to not know exactly where your future is going, that's okay. our future is already taken care of, it's in God's hands. hold on to the little things in life that you can string together to make something beautiful. with everything that comes in goes in your life, hold onto the important things. remember the moments that make you laugh and that make you cry. hold onto the people that love you know matter what. don't let the tough times take over, the sun always comes out after the storm...have faith in that.

thanks to everyone that has been there for me, it means more than you know! and if anyone needs strength--look deep down, and all around you-it's there!

God Bless
