When challenges come along, remember they are put in front of you to make you better.
If you do not see it this way you will whine and complain and suffer.
If you do, you will learn new things and employ your best virtues to meet them.
“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship.” – Louisa May Alcott
What challenges are you facing right now?
How will this make you better?
I have been reflecting on and praying over this exact topic recently. I am expecting my first child and I am realizing that many things I have considered challenging and even burdensome (caring for multiple sick relatives) has been exactly what I needed to prepare for motherhood. Without these challenges, I would be severely underprepared for the coming challenges of parenthood. In fact, with maturity and hindsight, I am grateful for these lessons.
Something I saw the other day that made an impact on me was, BE READY FOR CHANGE.
“God doesn’t give us more than we can handle” but sometimes I wonder. I had a manager that would always say “embrace change”.
