More quotes by Bethany Hamilton
My belief is where I get my strength. When I'm struggling with something, I can go to him for help and I'm excited to share that.
Bethany Hamilton
It's hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode wave in for the first time after the attack. I was incredibly thankful and happy inside. The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me you'll never surf again was gone in one wave.
Bethany Hamilton
Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.
Bethany Hamilton
In the end, my love for surfing helped me overcome my fear of sharks.
Bethany Hamilton
Surfing is very special and unique. It's really hard to explain unless you've tried it. It's being out in the ocean in the sun, the water on your skin, and the adrenalin rush when you catch a wave. You have to be creative so it's like an art form in a way.
Bethany Hamilton
God will give us the strength to be able to handle things. I mean, you can try to do it on your own, and sometimes you can pull off some stuff, but in the long run, it's much easier with Him by our side.
Bethany Hamilton
You fall off the horse and you get back on.
Bethany Hamilton
We all go through rough times. We have those obstacles that seem too large to overcome or that current that you never seem to swim out of. We have to decide what matters most to us - our passions.
Bethany Hamilton
When I was about five, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and since then it's just been a stronghold in my life. Really, through the shark attack and all the hard times that my family and I went through, it gave us unity and perseverance to push through all this crazy stuff that we never knew was going to happen.
Bethany Hamilton
I wouldn't change what happened to me because then I wouldn't have this chance, in front of all of you, to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.
Bethany Hamilton
Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of the heck with sugar and spice.
Bethany Hamilton
I gave my heart to Jesus when I was five-years-old and since then it's been a special relationship. To me it's not a religion it's just talking to God, reading his word, and doing my best to honor him in everything I do.
Bethany Hamilton
God created the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the waves for our enjoyment. Surfing is just my way of worshipping Him.
Bethany Hamilton
I can't change it, That was God's plan for my life and I'm going to go with it.
Bethany Hamilton
Learning how to deal with people and their reactions to my life is one of the most challenging things... people staring at me, people asking rude questions, dealing with media, stuff like that.
Bethany Hamilton
I think it doesn't matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I'm going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It's not all about competing and being the best. It's more about having fun and just doing what you love.
Bethany Hamilton
Love God love others do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!
Bethany Hamilton
God has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
Bethany Hamilton
I don't really want people looking to me for inspiration. I just want to be a sign along the way that points toward Heaven.
Bethany Hamilton
Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.
