Toy Story

So today is a Woody day. If you know anything about Toy Story (the movie), you might remember that in the first movie, when Buzz Lightgear comes, Woody is pushed to the side by whatever his name. I am Woody, and I don't like it. This sad feeling overcomes me when I see my best friend doing the things that we used to do--the things that made our friendship fun--with someone else. Someone who is better at sports than I am, someone who is better at fighting, someone who is better at games and movie quotes. Those were things I know I'm not good at, but I had fun trying because I was doing them with my best friend. She is still my best friend, and times are tough right now, but I know she loves me. During my devotions today, I learned about how our obstacles are really just ways to strengthen our faith. We are to persevere through the tough times and we will become complete and mature through our perseverance. We will learn something about ourselves from having faith and pushing forward. I'm pushing forward. I'm bettering my self in this rough time, and things will become comfortable eventually. Until then I will continue praying.
