::I Traveled The Hard road so I could believe::

“When the pain of what we are going through becomes greater than the fear of change we change.” – Garrison Wynn

As a child, we always wanted to be happy and we always wanted our OWN way, I mean who wouldn't? The desire has more or less been swallowed up by other things, but every once in awhile you'll see it kinda pop OUT!. Getting older now that desire to always be happy has turned into running away from circumstances that could possibly help us become stronger people and stronger christian. A Few months ago it was a difficult time, and so while talking to a good mentor friend we told her that life was being difficult but that we were almost glad because that meant maybe God thought we were strong enough in that time period to handle some more difficult situations. Our friend totally agreed and she also said that if she could go back to her teenage years/childhood she would give up none of the harder situations, because she said it made her realize how much stronger she was then she thought, it also made her rely on God and become a stronger christian!
All this was going through our heads, and we agreed. Right now we would give up nothing We've gone through, yes it was difficult, still is and probably always will be, but still if we can bare some of what Jesus had to endure for us, We'll do it! Difficult times builds character.

You would think only
So much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume that this
One has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here
 Sometimes the sun
Stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky
Rains night after night
When will it clear
But our hope endures
The worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the Earth quake
Our hope is unchanged
How do we comprehend
Peace within pain
Or joy at a good man's wake?
Walk a mile with a woman
Whose body is torn
With illness
But she marches - on
Oh
[3x]:Emanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
This is our hope
Our hope endures
The worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the Earth quake
Let the Earth quake
Let the Earth quake
Our hope is unchanged  -Our Hope Endures::Natalie Grant
