Continuing to Move Forward

"Being positive does not mean we deny the existence of difficulty; it means we believe God is greater than our difficulties. Believing in God can cause us to win any battle we face."

-Joyce Meyer, Power Thoughts

I read this quote last night while reading the book on my tablet using the Scribd app. It is truly my new favorite app because I can read nearly any book I want to, all on one little tablet. They are not paying me to say this... I just absolutely love it.

The quote above means a lot to me personally.

Last night, the degree audits came out and everyone who was set to graduate could check if they graduated. So I checked it immediately and under Awarded, there was a big ole Yes.

And that is when I did my ultra happy dance around my house in NJ and called my brother and my mom to tell them the great news.

You had to be there...

Ok anyway, I am really excited to be officially graduated and ready to move forward into what God has planned for me.

I know that God led me to Florida for a reason and that He has plans for me here in NJ.

It is when we choose to be positive about our circumstances that things begin to change. The difficulties do not seem as big and slowly things get easier. To be honest, I was not sure if I could make it through the semester without a hospitalization, but over time, it got easier. Things got better. And slowly but surely, I achieved my goals, graduated and now am ready to continue to move forward.

I can tell you from experience that God is bigger than anything we face. It is through Him that we defeat the difficulties.
