A Qoute To Live By
...n be changed but nothing can be changed until it happens. God gives us the strength and the knowledge we need to get through the rough times, and come out of the fight with the victory of knowing, that everything’s going to be alright. God gives us the ability to make things happen, to deal with things that have happened, and to be able to get through it with knowledge gained and the serenity that comes with it. God has given me the serenity I needed when I have asked for it. Almost all my life I’ve struggled to accept who I am and where I’ve come from. The hardest part of growing up was knowing all the things that have happened and trying to accept them. Accepting that I cannot change them but knowing I can change the way I look at them. I have not always felt this way. A small part of me, has always been willing and able, to look at the events in my life, and try to look at them from every point of view. When I first heard this quote I thought, wow this sounds a lot like what I believe. I haven’t always felt this way or had faith and hope in my life. There was a time when I felt things could not get any worse. One day someone said to me, “Hannah you cannot change everything, just the way you look at everything.” From that moment I spent most of my time trying to figure out what she meant. When I finally figured it out I was able to take the bad things that had happened and look at it with a completely different perspective. Now I look at it as if the bad things were just challenges that I had the strength and power to make it through. With that I found the serenity God granted me. I was able to go through the bad stuff and still be able to see clearly, to be optimistic, and to be happy with the way things are. I’ve found with a lot of my problems, the main cause was the fact that I couldn’t see the other views, or accept the things that had happened. I believe this quote asks God for serenity because when your in a situation you don’t always thinks straight and you cant always see the other side. No matter what happens, there are always going to be times when your not okay, when you don’t see the good that can come of it. It takes a lot to ask God for the strength to make it through and the ability to do so while learning something from it. It is hard to go through hard times and be able to come out thinking there was a reason and a purpose...
