Circumstance

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could find our worth, not in our circumstances, but how we deal with them.

We can plan all we want to. Plans for tomorrow. Plans for our future. But more often than not, life happens. We are tested. We are pushed to our absolute limits. How can we be happy when life does not unfold the way we planned?

I have a beautiful husband. An amazingly precocious daughter. We are happy when we are together. We have our hopes & dreams. We are constantly learning & growing as people. Let this be enough. Let us constantly be reminded that our God will not give us more than we can handle.

These daily frustrations are not a matter of circumstance. Let us see the beauty in our trials. Let us see the chance to grow. Let us come to a place of gratitude.

These are my ramblings. This is my encouragement to my family. We are bigger than our circumstances. We are strong & open to change.
