I really connected with what you wrote here. A physical therapist I once worked with me told how nothing is either 'bad' nor 'good'; rather, they are just things that happen in our lives, and we have the power to choose how we view them, and assign values to them. A lot of times, God gives us lessons in our lives that are to teach us things, but often we assign a negative value to the circumstances, and so we have to relearn this same lesson over and over until we mature and realize what it is He is trying to show and teach us.

I love this, can't wait to read more of your writing and thoughts! :)
