"Mama always said, "Life's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get!"
--Forrest Gump
I know this quote is funny and priceless, but if you really think about it there is a big picture to this small quote. Have you ever gotten a heart full of chocolate on Valentines? Yeah, me too! When you pick a chocolate up you don't know what's going to be in the center or if it's going to be solid. In life we don't know our future or what's going to happen next. It's a total surprise just like biting into a piece of chocolate you randomly picked. We may not understand why things happen the way they do sometimes, but it's all in God's plans. We just have to sit back and let Him handle everything. It's God's plans, so leave it all in His hands.

"My strength is made perfect in weakness."
--The Bible
From time to time we are faced with obstacles that we are unsure of; with every obstacle we don't get a manual that tells us how to overcame the new challenge. Not knowing what to do is ok; that has been a challenge for myself. Learning that I don't always have the anwsers to everything and that it's okay to have to learn something new. With every obstacle I have been faced with I have had to grow more and more; By grow I mean with my failure(weakness) I have gotten stronger. Sometimes failing at things make us more humble to learn what we are made of. I always say never have regrets, just lessons learned. Which is almost exactly what the quote of the day says. Learn from your mistakes don't continue to fail when you have the solutuion. Our manual for every obstacle is within ourselves and our failed attempts at the obstacle course.

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
--Dolly Parton
Sometimes we think things are just suppose to be handed down to us, but the truth of the matter is if we want something we have to work for it. Life is just the rain and we have to withstand every storm that comes our way to reach where we want to go. Remember no matter which way the rain is coming down you can make it through it and if you get to the point where you don't think you can make it anymore look up to God for your anwser. God will always be there waiting on you. We have to Praise God through the storms as well as when it is calm.

"No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow."
--Euripides
We are not promised tomorrow; we have to live in the moment. I have experienced the death of loved ones and I know it's not an easy thing to go through. The days and nights you spend thinking about them. Then there are the times where we may think about someone we don't have a good relationship with and we wonder what would happen if they were to die today. How would you handle it? What would you do? With each day you are given love harder, spend more time with your family, call that loved one that lives out of town, let anger go faster, and be a peace maker.
