On the toughest days

...I always think it's so funny when people think that I have this perfect life...my life is so far from perfect it hurts some days. I can't talk about all the things that are hurting my heart that I deal with every day, but so much pain is in my heart SOME days.From difficult things in my life,....to moments where some depressing thoughts try to creep in.

Life is full of hurdles of difficulty...

we will never have a life free of problems and hurt.

But we can grow wisdom to deal with the problems...

and grow more grace, mercy, and larger hearts to deal with the pain.

You've probably heard the saying:

"you can grow bitter or you can grow better"...

Well, some of the most incredible people I've ever known are the ones who have been through the toughest things. They didn't let life hard or painful things make them bitter...it actually made them better, develop more character and strength.

I couldn't get through anything without having God in my life...I asked the Lord to come into my heart not too many yrs ago...and he has been there to lift me up when I was down...when life gets to be too much...I’d lie if I said Im an a very religious person, I don’t go to chuch every Sunday, nor do I read the bible…But I do believe. I just want everyone to know that asks me, "how are you so happy?"...to know the answer. My life is not perfect, and it's not my life that makes me happy...it's God.

 If you are feeling alone, depressed, sad, hopeless, frustrated, hurt, that no one understands you, no one knows the hurt in your heart.... Reach out to him because only he is the one who can take all that away.

Love always, Nuria.
