What do you do when life gives you lemons? Easy, you make lemonade. Well let me tell you, like most things in life, that is a heck of a lot easier to say than to do. What do you do when your family moves you across the world? Away from the place you have called home your whole life. Away from your best friend that you have known since the day you were born, and love him like he is your own brother? Splitting your family in half and leaving your older brother and sister behind? What do you do? You cry. A lot. But then you get half way across the world, and honestly, its not half bad. Okay so I knew that it couldn't be absolutely terrible, since we are doing this for God. And what if you meet this incredible girl from Florida. My new best friend. What if you hate to go a day without talking to her and gushing like a little girl about all our inside jokes, and the cute guy next door? But what if, two years later, you have to do it all over again? What if your only a 15 year old girl with enough stress just being a teenager, without my body trying to release it in other ways like grinding my teeth at night or loosing all my hair? What do you do then? Take it from me. Its not easy.

I was thinking of this last night and had to write it down


Think about the earth we have. Think about what he gave us. Think about the sun and the beauty, the smiles and laughter, the happiness and truth, and think about the love and family, think about the friends He gave us that make us so happy and push us to our limits. Think about the joy and the righteousness, think of all the wonderful things He gave us. But it couldn't all be good down here. There had to be limits to push us and there had to be a choice to make. He had to make us see the other side. We had to see the hatred and the lies, the deception and the hurt. The bad and the ugly, and the pain and suffering. There had to be a choice, a choice to follow the beauty or the pain. He gave you a choice, and no one said it would be easy, so stop complaining, and do what He says.
