suck it up
so.... what do you do when something goes wrong in your life? wrong, as in unplanned, so you're extremely disappointed and frustrated. i know that most people will want to vent and complain and release cathartic energy. and maybe blame someone/everyone for their lot in life. but eventually, they get over it and move on... what if it's so big and you're so angry and bitter about it that it's very hard for you to get over it? what do you do? and what if you're so focused on this problem that you fail to see the blessings that you do have in your life because you're just so focused on this issue that you cannot change at all. dude, wouldn't you just suck it up and move on? cuz crap, you can't change it, it's what you've been dealt in life. you can get mad at God, but you know what, in the end He loves you and just wants you to be happy. so you move on and not let the crap take over your life, right? aughhh!
justice... fair... sometimes life just isn't like that. but in the end, all we're called to be is love. not good, not right, not the best, but love. all encompassing, compassionate, patient, kind, forgiving, and merciful. not just to perform loving acts or to love as a verb, but to BE love. to have it so deep within our being that every thought and action IS love. we are called to be love.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
