Everything Happens For A Reason
Find The Purpose In Everything
Everything happens for a reason isn't just a hollow worded quote to believe in.
All pains that hit you and had you feeling worthless came into your life to lead you to your purpose.
If you could look at your pain and ask it why'd you hurt me? the response would be "I'm just helping you along your journey."
Sometimes life ain't fair, or it doesn't like to play fair and even when it is it doesn't stay fair.
When bad circumstances put you in depression, your mind becomes a whirlwind of questions.
It goes a little like why did this happen to me? It seems like it all ends in madness for me.
But when it feels like the pressure never lets up, you gotta remind yourself that this setback is just a set up.
The hard road of life seems like its getting longer, but the adversity will only make you stronger.
Your life was well planned out and very intricate, and there's not one moment that lacks significance.
Sometimes life's punches throw more, so you can know more, you're gaining knowledge so you can grow more.
The challenge of life carries a message and it's trying to reach you. Don't block it out of your mind, sit back and let it teach you.
It's better to learn now instead of later. The losses you took came around to make you greater.
So in the middle of those tough life seasons, remind yourself that it all happens for a reason.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
