Giving up is not an option

I could have laid down and not got back up, I could of cried and asked why all day long but where would that have gotten me? I'm able to go through life with joy, happiness, love and faith because I didn't lay down because I chose to kick the master of defeat in the teeth. Not everyone understand how I've been able to move on and what I tell those is summed up in one word....God! Of course my family has been a huge part of why I move on but lets be honest I wouldn't have them if it weren't for God either. I'm not saying i wasn't sad or that I wasn't depressed for a minute because that would mean I had no emotion. I was sad, still am just not depressed. I'll always be sad because I love him and miss him but the joy that I feel for the day that I will get to hold him again over powers the sadness. We as humans have things happen to us in our lives that we dont very fair, and as those things happen to us we have two choices. The first is to let our pain overcome us, to let the master of defeat win. But since we cant change the past by dwelling on the past and giving up why do it? Our second choice is a much more appealing one. Get up and move on! Dont dwell on what you cant change. God has a plan for everyone and doesnt want us to question why he does what he does. So dont! Instead tell yourself you are going to trust in God and have faith that although you dont understand why He has chosen such a path for you He does. I'm not saying turn into a zombie and walk on this earth like you dont have a care in the world, but what I am saying is dont your emotions become you. I know a few people who have not only felt grief but who have become the poster child for it. I'm not strong because i was born that way, Im strong because I chose to be!
