Thankful for my beautiful new friend Kenna for making me this photo..

Scripture to meditate on-

Psalm 29:11

The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength
to his people, the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Exodus 14:13-14

“Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today...The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” 

Psalm 107:9

For he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.

2 Corinthians 7:10-13

Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.

Inspiration for you all... Just know that all of your trials and all of your struggles bring you that much closer to God. It makes you more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more human, more passionate, more humble, more pure, more responsible.. the list could go on and on.You can come out of your adversity with a purity of heart. Newfound strength that only couldve been attained from accepting that struggle and pursuing through it. We don't know God's ultimate plans for our lives, that is the mystery of the Lord. We will never know why certain things happen, but we do know one thing, GOD IS GOOD. He is so good, so perfect and He is Love. He only wants the best for us, and cares more then anyone else on this earth cares for us. It's hard to look at adversity and pain and think "this is good" but in the end when you conquer that trial I guarantee you will be a better person. You will build inner strength and you will comfort others who go through trials similar to yours. Everything has a purpose. God doesn't make mistakes and He can't do evil. Just know that.

He is carrying you through this.
