enjoy the struggle.
words that have so much meaning in my life.
i had a teacher in high school that said this all the time. she died while running a marathon a few years after i graduated. she had a heart condition that she didn't know about.
well, lately these words that she whole heartily believed in have been ringing true in my life. i have been facing struggles in my life. we all have struggles. i can either let me bring me down, or enjoy the struggle. of course i would rather just skip over the struggle. i mean, who wouldn't? but i am choosing to endure and enjoy the struggles i am facing. because God has put me in them for a reason. and in the end, these struggles will strengthen me.
on a side note, i took a picture of a family Bible at my Grandma's house while there for thanksgiving. it was her grandfathers. as you can see, it is falling apart. literally falling apart at the seams. but i think a Bible that is falling apart is a sign that it was used. a lot. i love this.
love & blessings.
