"I don't know why bad things happen...but I have to believe something good is going to come from this." -Soul Surfer
I've been in a real funk the last few days. I watched Soul Surfer today and thought it would just depress me even more. It has actually inspired me. While I haven't lost a limb, I can relate to her struggles. I believe anyone who's faced any kind of hardship can relate. She goes through part of the movie angry, wondering how this could possibly be part of God's plan. I know when people tell me "You'll get pregnant when God intends for you to get pregnant, I wanted to punch them. (Quite frankly, I still do) But I sort of understand now. Every time I feel like giving up, which is becoming much more frequent, I have to remember something good is going to come from this. Whether it be me giving birth to a beautiful, healthy baby...or adopting a beautiful, healthy baby...all my struggles will be worth it in the end.
My life right now can't be placed into words...it is chaotic, stressful, emotional, sometimes wonderful...but this is my attempt at describing it.
I'm going to watch Soul Surfer with the church youth group in a couple weeks. I'd heard it's very good.
