"There is no conflict man can endure that will not produce a blessing."
-Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
I completely agree with Don Miller when he says that conflicts in our lives can bring blessings. Even the most difficult times in my life have brought blessing.
Sometimes going through tough times makes us more aware of the beauty in our lives, the good times that may have gone unnoticed had we not gone through difficulties.
When my oldest brother died, I went to my high school and gave speeches about not doing drugs or drinking. Through his death, I was able to tell my story and his story at my school, something I never thought about until after he died. I hope that I made a difference in at least one person's life.
When I was homeless, I ended up volunteering at a camp for kids and adults with special needs. It was one of the most blessed times in my life, even in such hardship.
As you go through life, remember that sometimes the hardest times in our lives are actually blessings in disguise.
