Anxiety is doubt; and doubt is the absence of faith...even if for only a moment. Trust is essential to living a good life...a life of peace, balance and harmony. We often forget what it means to trust fully and wholly. We find ourselves wrapped up in the worries of this life, but we must remember that "this too shall pass"...Even for the high points, remember: "This too shall pass"...we must remain level-headed and remain humble...
Trials are God's way of teaching. I feel that when I am suffering, that is when I feel His presence the most. I trust that I am not alone and that there is a love that carries me farther and longer than anything ever could. There is a hope that is far greater than anything I could ever imagine. There is something that comes of these trials and of the trials to be that gives us new strength and teaches us new things. The lessons never end...the trials never end...but each and every one will end when the time is right.
We are given choices in this life...we decide which path to travel. We can make it easier or harder, but in the end, we will always find ourselves in the best position we could ever possibly be.
Today, I take one more step forward, and I just keep looking ahead. I know that good things will come, and that I will be very blessed...and I already am.
Tonight I want to go to sleep remembering the things I have learned, and remembering to just believe...
Every day is a new beginning, and a new chance to start over. I do not wish to carry over the worries of today into tomorrow...for tomorrow has new worries, new trials, and new teachings. Tomorrow has not come yet, and yesterday has ended...so for now, I remember to smile, breathe, love, and to just be....
There is something so precious about this day...and that, I will hold on to. What is precious and good will carry us far and wide--we are not alone, no...never alone. We just have to understand that and let that get us through our day.
...and remember...."This too shall pass"
All my love,
Ashley
