what a wonderful day so far! It is beautiful (but COLD out), I saw a hero of mine- a person who helped me gain a testimony of the gospel, i went on a walk with my mom, went shopping and wrapped some presents. but then- just a few minutes ago a friend called me that just received heartbreaking news. she called me devastated. she feels helpless and feels she is going to lose the things that are most important in her life. and the truth is, she might.
heartbreak comes in all different forms. It comes when we lose love. It comes when we lose ourselves- when we make mistakes that we never thought possible. heartbreak comes when people we love are hurting or when we see people we love make bad decisions. but luckily, even when our hearts are broken, our hearts can swell with love and thankfulness. we can see the beauty in the world and in others and hopefully in ourselves. our hearts swell when we fulfill commitments we make with ourselves and when we become closer to the person we hope to become. Our hearts swell when we are around people we love and when we laugh a lot- and we can laugh a lot even when are hearts are broken.
even though the journey is hard, there is joy in the journey. Even when things are so hard, there is light. And during the times that we don't feel like there is light, God will carry us. I know it. I had to remind my friend of that today. and as i reminded my friend, i reminded myself.
heartbreak creates strength. i know it. heartbreak turns into beautiful things.
