You Have to Lose to Win

So this week my baby sister had her heart broken. I spent the day with her Tuesday and I spent the day doing my best to make her feel better. Listening to her cry her heart out and tell me what happened took me back to a time when the same thing happened to me. I remembered exactly how I felt at that time and the things that I did that to deal with it all. It's awful when you think you know how your life is going to go and then it doesn't work out that way. Then I remembered, that unfortunately that's life. God throws things like this our way to make us stronger, to build us up on our faith, and our complete dependance on HIM. Only He knows why he allows these things to happen. I remember having my heart broken and crying out asking why. Now 6 years later I see why. I know that if I would have married that boy, yes boy because we were so young I would have missed out on the some of the greatest moments in my life. This break up began the cycle which has made my life what it is today and made me the woman I am today. I thank God for that painful moment, and everything that came after it. Because of this experience which began the chain of events that has lead me to this point in my life. I have learned to depend on God, trust in him, and realize that only HE will always be there. To my bumblebee I have to say to be strong! You are an amazing woman, and God is going to use this experience to make you stronger, bolder, and more dependent on Him. Never look at is as you have lost, because thru this you will win. The chain of events that this has started will only shape you more into the woman that He wants you to be. Just remember that if this is it, things will turn around. If not, then know there is a man out there that God will bring who will love you like no one has ever loved you, and at that moment you will thank God for this moment you are living today. Look at me now and remember that!
