I Can Do Hard Things

When your heart hurts you think nobody understands.

Why do people have to make decisions that hurt other people?

You think you know someone, but then find out you really don't. And you love this person and know their doing something wrong.

It's not suppose to be this way.

I've prayed for comfort and I feel better, but then I remember why I prayed in the first place, then my heart twists and turns and I want to break into tears.

Pain is a part of life. But so is faith. You have to have faith to endure the pain.

I'm meant to learn a lesson and gain knowledge through this trial. And I can. I just need to have the right perspective.

I find it interesting when people go through hardships and blame Heavenly Father or turn their backs away from Him. They think its His fault. But He loves us enough to let us learn for ourselves. I bet thats hard: Stepping back and watching someone you love make mistakes and learn from them...

Maybe thats what I'm meant to do: Step back and let this person learn, but love them just the same.

This is hard. This is very hard.

But I can do hard things. I know that.
