while I reflected on my experiences at highland retreat (scroll down to see that post), the saying "He never gives us more than we can handle" made its way into my mind. i thought about that phrase for a good week before it made any sense. because, so often we think that the bad things that are happening can't get any worse. our day that is already the worst day in the world can't possibly get worse. but then it does. we learn things from that day and experiences that we never thought we could.
while i was at highland, i had a mild panic attack. i didn't think that i could handle what was happening around me, and i panicked. as i sat there, at the worst point in the two weeks, i thought it couldn't get any worse. and even though it didn't, i knew that there would be worse. maybe not that camp season, maybe not in the next year. in the bad experiences, you have to be able to see the good. the silver lining as people say. we're all human, so we will have bad days. and we will have days where we feel like we're floating on top of the world. but just remember the silver lining. the best (and the worst) are still yet to come.
