As a little kid everything seems to be so much bigger than it actually is. Recently, I went to a waterpark that I had not been to in over five years. Going there was like facing that huge final exam my second grade year.
From going to the water park I came to conclude that experiences in our life are always going to seem one way, but be another in the big picture. We as humans are going to continuously go through things in our life that will sometimes seem very big, but in the 'big' picture of life they will be very small and vice versa. I believe that as a girl I tend to let emotions get the best of me at times and I have recently known someone who went through a situtation that seemed big, but in the long run, it is only a little thing that she will face in life. Looking back she will think 'Wow, I really thought was a lot bigger of a deal than it was.' And the cycle goes on and will continue throughout our lives. I'm not saying in the least that we should shrug off every event in our lives as if they mean nothing, but I am challenging myself and others to be strong in every situation even if it hurts like a load of bricks hitting you in the chest and knocking the wind out of you.
Things in life are gonna come at us quick and we need to be willing to rip off the band-aid quickly so it doesn't hurt worse in the end.
Wow Rachel, way to be! I think that you are right in so many ways and you have been courageous to return to college this year. I'm thankful God has been helping you heal after ripping off your band-aid. He will continue to always be there for you.
