Madi (Stories)

One thing that’s been on my mind lately is trying to see the bigger picture in life when it comes to difficult times. For me, that’s looked like reflecting on some of the things I’ve faced in my life and wondering why God has put them in my path. I believe He does it all for a reason, even if it doesn’t make sense to us. I’ve learnt once you allow your pain and your trials to teach you things - your eyes open. It can be hard to do because it’s easy to let our minds go to “why me?” and to become discouraged when we are facing something hard. When we think like that, we lose sight of all the positive things. Now I’ve learnt to reframe it and think “what is this preparing me for?” There have been some really hard times in my life, but I’ve always come out of it with new lessons that I probably wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.
