I came across a quote this week that says, "The beauty of brokenness, is that God can put the pieces back together."

Everyone has a different story and things that are going on in their life, but I think we can all agree that times do get hard. We all have been down that road where we wanted to give up. Where it seemed like nothing could ever go right. There are days where I just want to lay in bed and sleep the day away, but I always have to remind myself take a minute and think. Think about all the good that God has done and all of the things he has blessed me with. Crazy how selfish we can be, right?

Even if something doesn't go our way like not receiving something we feel we worked so hard for and deserve, or even having people walk out of your life that you thought would always be there, there is always a reason.

If God will put you through it, he is going to be there to bring you through it.

We might not understand it for awhile, and it will take time to heal, but down the road when you look back, it will make you laugh at the fact you were even upset. And it is ok to be upset about it and eat that bowl of ice cream (especially since they came out with Halo.) But we have to remember to keep moving. Make the ones who you rejected you, walked out on you, and put you in a dark place regret it. Become a better you for you, because God didn't give us the strength to get back on our feet for us to run back to the same thing that knocked us down.

"Even in the darkest storms, there will always be a rainbow"
