We won't ask, 'Why did this happen?' or 'Why doesn't God care about me?' Instead, our questions will become, 'What can I learn from this experience?' or 'How does the Lord want me to handle this?

We are not as frail as the strings would make us believe.

Life tries to crush her, but only succeeded in making a diamond.
