I love C.S. Lewis.
I love this quote, too.
Hardships are when we find ourselves on our knees because we have no where else to go.
We are literally drawn to the God we believe in;
Not because we've seen Him with our eyes, but because we feel Him in these moments when we are stripped of all worldly confidence.
Once we understand that our trials are not to show us our weakness, but to bring us to our strengths, we see our lives very differently.
We are more available, more present, to experience what we are meant to experience to bring us to our extraordinary destiny.
The hardest possible trials bring the opportunity to get things right.
To get the help we need.
To seek a better, more fit village.
To present our truth.
To live our best lives.
Without these trials, we remain stuck.
In misery.
It wasn't until my soul was just about wrecked that I discovered what had been weighing me down my entire life.
It wasn't until there was no more bottom to hit that I discovered I was ready to climb up and out, no matter how long it took.
It wasn't until I could only see darkness, that I searched for the light.
It is BECAUSE of my trials, because of my tribulations, because of my terrible choices that I am now able to not only see the light, but live in it.
Keep going.
Keep trying.
There REALLY IS health and happiness ahead.
