Rejection, denial, broken--all feelings that would make anyone want to crawl under a rock and never come back out. When you tend to have feelings such as these it's really easy to point out all the negative aspects of life, all of your flaws, and most of all find someone to blame for them. We want to make excuses for why things are the way they are and why what happened, happened.

It's hard to understand that this broken heart is all part of your plan. It's hard to understand that these low points are only happening to make us stronger. And it's even harder to understand that you knew this before we even came into this world.

It's hard living in a world where we constantly go, go, go and have everything planned out and when one thing goes wrong there's always someone to blame. But did we ever stop and think maybe this was just a part of his plan? It's difficult to see the bigger picture of this when you're going through such a small part in your life at the time, but God knows everything and wants his light to shine through the good and the bad.

Handling adversity, change, rejection, etc... can be one of the toughest things ever, but it's not like we have to do it alone. There's someone who's right beside us. In fact, he's always been there and never left our side. While God would never give us anything we couldn't handle, he's always going to be there to help us face our problems. It's not like he's just there to watch.

By turning to him and realizing that you can't face your battles alone or plan your life out the way you want it will not only make you a stronger person on the inside, but also the out.

God has so much power it's unbelievable and although this craziness doesn't seem right or the timing couldn't be more off we just have to open our arms and give it all to him. Life isn't about living for myself but living for God. I have to give it all to him because he gave it all up for me.

So who cares about not getting into the particular sorority I wanted my freshman year in college or breaking my collar bone my senior year of high school or whatever other struggles I may face. Jesus gave his LIFE for me and I'm complaining about what I can't have when clearly I have so much more than I can ask for.

Thank you, God, for your unconditional love. I want what you want Lord and nothing less.
