Beyond Circumstances "I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstances but by our disposition." - Martha Washington. Your circumstances are not your reality. They may feel overwhelming, but they are ever changing, temporary. Faith breaks the logic of the world. You don't need to see how things will come together; trust that they will. Stop focusing on what's in front of you, instead believe that everything happens for a reason. Stand firm. Don't let your current situation dictate your future. Your faith, not your circumstances, determines where you're headed.
