More quotes by 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
It was what God had taught me growing up that helped me overcome my fear and get back on the board. 'Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go' (Joshua 1:9).
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 don't need easy, I just need possible.
Bethany Hamilton
My only real fear was that I would not be able to surf again because I was concerned that I would not physically be able to do it. I knew that if I wasn't able to surf then my life would really change.
Bethany Hamilton
Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.
Bethany Hamilton
My favorite thing [about surfing] is being creative on waves it's like an art form. You can do whatever you want on that wave if you work hard at it and just have fun out there.
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
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
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
It's sad to hear that 1 in 3 girls have an eating disorder, because they're trying to be something that they think they need to be, when it's such a lie that they believe. Meanwhile all over the world there's people that are starving or dying of something crazy that we forget, and we think we're the only ones in this world.
Bethany Hamilton
None of us are going to have perfect lives. Our own vision of what we think is good maybe different from what He [God] thinks. And we forget that. We think we know what's best and we don't.
Bethany Hamilton
Getting back on the surfboard after the [shark] attack was the hardest thing and I did it! After that, the hardest thing was my first competition.
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
Love is bigger then a tsunami, stronger then any fear.
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
People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.
Bethany Hamilton
I believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe He gave me the passion and determination to continue surfing. You fall off the horse, and you get back on. I had to go for it.
Bethany Hamilton
God has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
Bethany Hamilton
You fall off the horse and you get back on.
