Don’t go through life,

                      grow through life.

                                   ~Eric Butterworth

~Believe the obstacles you face are textbook lessons, waiting to be uncovered, gone THROUGH, and then, mastered!

Life sometimes feels like a journey through a long tunnel. If it’s a dark tunnel with unknown obstacles, the mind can play up all sorts of demons to frighten the bejeebers out of you!

Demons in our thoughts that begin to work as early as you start your day. I’m a nothing, with no talent for anything, too ugly, too fat, too skinny, too old, too tall, too short, too dark, too light, too poor, too stupid,  too shy, too  ________(fill in your own demon!)

Whenever you find yourself wrestling with insecurities throughout your day, remember, there is a light at the end of this long  journey. Perhaps if we take every demon that tries to cripple us, and work on the things we can change and accept the ones we cannot, then, we may find ourselves growing and igniting a little light to guide us as we journey through the darker moments of our lives.

In the darkness of my tunnel, I remember these simple words and replay it as many times until the glimmer of light shines through:

I can do all this through Him who gives me strength. ~Philippians 4:13

  Where do you find the strength to grow through life?

~May you spread a love-filled, growing-through-life week with your friends and loved ones!

Yours through this journey,

Sunshine xoxo

  11. Great photo, and inspiring words. My past experience gives me strength, because I know that all that has passed before has brought me to this place, and even the painful moments had their place in my life. Life has whispered so many secrets to me, and yet I know there are many more to discover.

    • Definitely strength is gained through challenging experiences Judee. Sometimes we want to wish the pain away but reflecting back one hopefully sees the growth in character one obtains as we work through the obstacle. I love your openness to more discoveries Judee. I appreciate your conversation and abundant love and blessings to you.

  17. I say Yes to this. I can do all things through Him, with the empowering of His Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, and life.
