Quote of the day

You don't get to choose your brothers and sisters. You don't get to choose your mom and dad. They didn't get to choose you either, unless you were adopted. But your birth family didn't get to choose you. You are God's gift to them and any family you might be a part of, and they are God's gift to you. God knew what he was doing when he placed each of us with the family we have, knowing what we will face will make us stronger and unique in different areas. If you were born into an abusive family, God is helping you get a thicker skin and stand up to it. If you were born into a poor family, God is giving you the opportunity to feel motivated to do something great and support your family. If you were born into a family with high expectations, God is giving you the chance to live up to them and to learn how to be highly productive and successful all the way from the start. God put you in different places to season you in different ways. He gave you the gift of your family, and He gave your family the gift of you.
