What an interesting year, last year, it was for me, experiencing the ups and downs of life and holding on through it all. How about you? As we are now over the holidays and the start of another year, how did you do and how are you holding up?
Remember, no mater what comes, we are resilient enough to move through struggles, heartaches, pain, tears, etc., even though it may not feel as such. The thoughts of give up, I cannot do this anymore or I have had enough seems to be constant thoughts or verbal outbursts at times, I know with me. Normal. Still, keep going forward as tomorrow is another day, and the days after that.
Life can knock us down at times in many circumstances 
but do not stay down. Acknowledge within yourself that you have been through worse probably and are stronger than what is front of you. Most importantly, put your trust in the Lord. Walk and live by faith, not by sight.
Don’t crumble but conquer so that the joy in your life becomes evident to yourself and to others. It’s there, sometimes we have to fight for it.
