Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted, but I had something I wanted to share.
The past three months have been a living hell of grief, depression, eating disorders, and financial issues for me. Every day I would get up and wonder why I was even here anymore. But after the events of the past few days, I believe things are finally getting better. I found my smile again, and an unexpected blessing gave me the hope, courage, purpose and strength to go on again. When I felt better I happened to watch the movie "Miracles From Heaven". It wasn't until I was out of the darkness and into some light that I saw some wisdom in the following speech. "... I felt hopeless. I felt alone. I was angry that our prayers weren't being answered. I lost my faith. Because of that, I didn't see what was all around me. Albert Einstein said there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle and the other is as though everything is a miracle. I'm the first to tell you I wasn't living my life as though everything is a miracle. I missed a lot. Miracles are everywhere. Miracles are goodness. Sometimes showing up in the strangest of ways through people who are just passing through our lives... to dear friends, who are there for us no matter what. Miracles are love. Miracles are God. And God is forgiveness. And after everything I've been through, I've realised I'm not alone. And whatever you may be going through, I am here to tell you, you are not alone. Miracles are God's way of letting us know he's here." -Jennifer Garner (Miracles From Heaven 2016) Regardless of what your faith is, wether you believe in God or not, or where you are in your walk in life, miracles exist. They're here every single day. They happen so often that at some point we stop seeing them. From coworkers willing to share their lunches with us because we've forgotten ours, to words of praise from our family and friends, to the smile on a stranger's face when we give them food to feed their families. They're miracles one and all. If we made an effort to see the small miracles in every day, maybe we wouldn't be so dark and hopeless all the time. Maybe if I had tried to I wouldn't have been so tempted by suicide. But now I see that Einstein was right. Everything and every day is a miracle. We just have to see it that way.
