The Courage to Let Go

Yesterday I was supposed to get a heart monitor put on for the next month but didn't due to them not having the equipment! We went there and everything... it was all quite frustrating. What made it all worse though is not feeling well at all. I was super sleeping, my muscles hurt, my vision was going blurry, and my chest was feeling funny. Then I read this quote:

I read it and thought that there is nothing I can do besides let go of all the frustration. So I did. After doing so, I felt stronger. Maybe not physically but mentally. I know that I can't change what is going on with me. I also know that God wouldn't give me anything I can't handle. Now, I am going to try my best to have courage getting through this journey and trust the Lord. 

Life and Loss

Last night my mom told me that my orthodontist died. He was a really nice guy who was very knowledgeable. So to think now that I will never see this person that I saw pretty much every week for about five months now was gone is sad. At first it just sounded really weird and as the night went on it became real for me. The orthodontist office is really close to my house so we drive by it quite often. We drove by it three times last night and each time made me have a strange feeling.
After hearing and thinking about life and death made me realize that you never know how much time you have. Also, you are put through many trials throughout your life and yes they may be hard but each one adds to your life. Today's quote is about life. I feel like this is something great to always think about, even on the hardest of days.
