they seem to come up to you when you least expect it, catching you by surprise. one moment you are settling into the comfort of habit, next moment you're sprawled all over the floor, in bits and pieces even. wouldn't be much of a problem if you saw it coming from miles away now would it? so how now?
i don't refute the fact that these 'surprises' can cause major upsets at times, the feeling of helplessness, the crushing of dreams, the crashing of your world. but through these, you will only become stronger. 'trial by fire' or the simple idea of metal ore going through the unbearable heat of a kiln, to become the precious metal it is potentially expected to become. i even dare say that god plans these things. i remember watching evan almighty, "Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
mysterious how the world works, but with these thoughts in my head, i can now safely tread into the unknown and face life with a renewed vigor. we'll get through this baby, i swear, trust me ok? x3
