"Testimony Strengthened"

I have learned through my life and through my experiences that life is about who you love, and who you hurt. its about how you feel about yourself. its about trust. happiness and compassion. its about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance. and building confidence. its about what you say and what you mean. its about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. most of all. it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. Life is about seeing others through Gods eyes, its about knowing who you are as a person, and loving who you are. Its about finding happiness in any circumstances that life brings. its about forgiving yourself, and forgiving others. life is too short, to live anything but happy. its about letting go of things you can't change, taking chances, and giving everything. its about showing people how much you can smile when your sad, its about loving what you got, and always loving what you had. its about learning from your mistakes, and getting back up, its about knowing that your life can change in a split second, and remembering that life goes on. its about remembering God, and remembering who created you, its about serving others, and turning to God in trials. its about remembering the past and learning from mistakes, its about improving yourself, and improving others, its about knowing yourself, and about finding out why we are here. 
My testimony has been strengthened this semester, and will keep strengthening as life goes on, and the trials I face. As an update on my life, I have been brought to what seems like a burden to many peoples life, but has only brought great joy and happiness to mine, this being diagnosed with Wegeners Disease.
