I have found that in my life when I write about something or talk to someone about a lesson I have learned, I get tested on that very thing to make sure I get it right. Does that ever happen to you? It is amazing the very thing we think we have overcome will come back and test us until we get it.
Take for example me, I say be thankful in everything, look at the positive, but then when confronted with a impossible task, I think about all the reasons it will not work. The truth was there is no task that is impossible if you believe you can accomplish it. The choices are ours to make, but yet we are afraid of making them. We can come up with more reasons why it will not work, when if we just buckle down and do them, then nothing will get in the way except for our unbelief that we can actually do it. This weekend I have been working on the job from hell and it has tested me time and time again. It would be so easy just to throw in the towel, but it isn't about giving up, it is about pressing forward and being positive while pressing forward. The darkest nights are always followed by the sun coming up.
If you are going through a dark time, the sun will come up. There is hope it is there, but you have to chose to see it. Do you believe that? I do I have been presented with many things that I said would not happen and I have seen the impossible become possible. I have seen the darkest of times become the brightest, I have seen the saddest people find joy, they just chose to see that there is happiness even in the rain, there is joy even when life seems to be taking everything away. It helps to change our perspective and see life not for what we have lost, but that we have life.
I chose to see that there is life, I don't know what it holds, but for today I know that it has been a good day despite everything, because today I got to see the sunrise and tonight I get to see the sunset. I just hope that you have been able to see the joy of life even in the mystery of what is to come.
