Just Have Hope

These past few months have been hard. Sometimes we wonder why certain things have to happen. Why me? But it is important to realize that things happen for a reason and we have to trust that things will work out. I promise they will. There is a plan for you, greater than you could ever imagine. I have had to remind myself of this all the time lately.   This quote reminds me why trials are so hard.  "Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have been, to stand up taller than you ever were." -Unknown I hope we will remember that if we stay positive our trials and challenges will strengthen us and make us even better. It's hard to be positive in a world that is so negative but look for the light. It's always there. Remember you are never alone, there is a God in heaven who loves you, and there are always people who will be willing to help you. Don't be afraid to ask for help!!!  When your next trial or challenge comes your way instead of saying: -Why me? ...

It might be stormy now but it can't rain forever." ~Tiny Buddha. I love this quote for many reasons. The main lesson I got from this was to be patient, and to wait until the storm ends. I am sure we are all anxious for everything to return to normal and for Covid to be over. However, it won't be over instantly and it might take time. But, this quote promises that the storm will end and I believe that Covid will be over someday too.  Right now, I think we can focus on spending time with our families and staying connected online with those around us. I have enjoyed spending more time at home and I have started goals that have blessed my life. I hope you will still be able to see positive things in your life each day. 😊 ~How has Covid changed your life? 

    I have always had a great love for quotes. I enjoy collecting them and I have many of them around my room. They have always been meaningful to me and sometimes I will read a quote and become struck by what it says.  Quotes inspire us to be better and to keep trying. They can even change the way we look at our lives. I have a great appreciation for quotes and I truly believe they can help uplift us.        Every month I like to find a quote and write it on the whiteboard in my room. The past six months have been harder for me and I have found that sometimes the quote written on my board seemed like it was written there for me in that moment. I encourage you to find quotes you like and put them where you can see them. Maybe they can help you when you are going through something.  As I wrote this post I started thinking about the many purposes of quotes. I have already mentioned that quotes can help uplift us. But they can also be ...
