Everything is temporary

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny."

-CS Lewis

We all have our ups and downs in life. Things can seem so hopeless at times. But it is important to know that everything is temporary. The difficult situation you may be feeling today, or even this month won't last. 

Life changes every minute of every day. So if things are going good enjoy it, it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry. This won't last forever either. 

Henry Ford once said it best. "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it".

Hardships are a necessity in life, it makes us stronger and wiser. It is important to know that you are strong enough to get through anything. God will lead you through the fire, all you have to do is take his hand. 

Do not let your past or present rob your future. We are all destined to do amazing things. Whether this is being a doctor, a social worker, a daughter, a wife, or even a parent. 

We affect so many lives around us, both in negative and positive ways. We teach people lessons on a daily bases. Don't ever beat yourself or others for the mistakes that have been made, accept the mistake and move forward. You are a fighter! Remember that you are made out of the best part of God. That means you can get through anything that life throws at you. 

Money, people, and situations will come and go. And the people that we love most will fail us, they are human. It doesn't mean they don't love you. It just means that they make mistakes. 

We all have our struggles, some more than others. We all face tragedy and despair. The true miracle is that we are able to grow from all of these experiences, even when the odds are against us. 

Remember that we are who we are because of the hardships we have faced. And out of hardships, a lot of opportunities come our way. For example, my husband had a job he loved but didn't make very good money. I had asked him over and over to go to a higher paying job, but he didn't want to leave. 

He ended up losing his job, and I don't work anymore due to my health. So as you can imagine this was devastating! Two days later he found a job where his hourly wage was doubled. I believe that God knew he wouldn't quit on his own, so he had to step in so we could get out of the financial struggle we were in. 

God will always come through, it may not be the way you want. But trust that he always knows what we need, and will always lead us to our true path. 

Some struggles may last longer than others. Losing a loved one is a very hard thing to experience, especially if it is a child. But know that as time goes by, your pain will get less and less. 

Your loved ones are always around. They come in to check on you, to love on you, and even just to say hello. And please know that this separation is not permanent. When your time here is done, you will be with them again. 

Please don't give up on yourself or on your loved ones just because things are hard. You can get through anything! And the people that are meant to be in your life will never leave. 

In regards to all things in life, this too shall pass 

God bless
