Face it.

Sometimes life just doesn't do what you want it do. You're friends won't talk to you, You can't seem to get along with your family, Schools and Work sucks, And you are doing everything yet you feel so beyond at the end of you're rope. Believe it or not, but it gets better.

It's hard to believe that when you feel so terrible and at the end of the rope that there will be and is some light somewhere. You can't depend on everyone else to make you feel amazing. You have to do it on your own. For me... That's a challenge and it always has been. I accredit nothing to my life. I am doing what I do in hopes that ill find what God wants. This can be an extremely hard concept when you think about it, because the world has you by your toes, and wants you to do everything to be what will make you likeable and popular or the best worker, or student or child. I think I have finally come to grips. I don't care if i'm likeable or the best or the most amazing person ever, because as long as im doing what God wants and doing all I can to make God happy with me, then in my book i'm fine.

Grasping this concept has been hard, but Face it, sometimes you just have to go with what life brings. I mean, what are you going to do? Not deal with it. Just fall on your face and give up? Many people do that but in my mind, giving up is just a way of saying you're wrong God, You don't know what you're doing, obviously you can't see how hard this is for me or you wouldn't do it, you don't know how I feel. No one does. Yet the Savior does, so beyond our comprehension and coming to grips we must remember that God doesn't give you anything or let anything happen you can't handle. If you give up that's you're choice. Because there is a way to get through it. I take that fully right now with what's happening in my life. No matter who is in my life, who cares, or anything. As long as I have my Father in Heaven and Savior my trials are very small.

I heard a quote once that said "Stop telling God how big your storm is and start telling your storm how big your God is."

It's true. God will handle it for you if you will just do what he has asked. You just have to try, and not try so much that you feel overwhelmed. Do ALL you can do. God will help you. He is happy with you and the small things you do that are positive. Even if they seem small. I take this especially if you do something that makes another one of Gods children smile or have a positive happiness. Doesn't seem like much. But I saw this a few weeks ago, where I had a paper swan my friend made me, I gave it to another girl in Sacrament and she smiled and played with it the whole meeting. I know it seems lame, but the Small and Simple things are whats important. And It made me happy and her happy. I have to believe that God saw that. And See's that everyone is trying.

Life is worth it! Just trust you're Father in Heaven.

Things will Work out.
