I love this song.
I actually just heard it for the first time yesterday and since then I have listened to it countless times.
Like I said, I love it!
Ps. a special thanks to Lori for telling me how to post it on here :)

Everyday Struggles
"Everyday has a struggle, and everyday has a choice.
You can be weakened by your struggle, or strengthened by your God."
I wrote that late one night in Berlin. The following evening we were going to be giving our testimonies and I was going over mine mentally (I get very nervous talking in front of people). As I was thinking about everything God has brought me through, and how He is always, always there for me, I thought how every single day we all struggle with something. No matter how hard we try or dream or imagine to have a perfect day with no struggles, we just can't. But it's in your struggle that God will use you the most. And there's always the option of just letting it overtake you, or realizing God is bigger and can handle anything. And I mean anything! The thing that I think I would change about that writing though is that sometimes we are weakened by our struggle, but at the same time we can be strengthened by God, if only we look to Him. It's like Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12 "when I am weak, then I am strong" I love that verse so much and it is one that when I'm struggling my friend reminds me of that and when she is struggling I remind her of that. Because it always brings peace knowing that God is strong, even in our weakest points.
One more thing...don't lose hope about having that perfect day. Because once we get to Heaven we'll be having perfect days everday of our everlasting life. Perfected by the Father's love.
