VOL, here's another one for you:
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
I'm still going through trials in my life that haven't let up since I was much younger than you. You learn a lot about yourself by how you endure your trials and how close you come to the Lord by forging a relationship with Him because of all your tribulations. They just don't go away, especially if you count yourself as one of the Lord's valiant children. Just keep your chin up and laugh through the storms. Trust me. You'll catch a break soon enough to relax and catch your breath. That's when you get ready for the next one, buddy.
