I am a people’s person so I am always talking to people rather it’s at work, in line at the grocery store, the post office, the doctor’s office or just on the street. Talking to people has made me realize some things… we are different yet the same. We all want to be happy in every area aspect of our lives. We want the best not only for ourselves and our families but for everyone else as well. We are not perfect and we fall short every day. We have faith things will work out according to His will. At the end of the day, we are doing the best we can with what we have.

I also realized a lot of people are struggling with something. You can see a person every day and never know what they are struggling with or what they are going through. The thing is we all have our own personal struggles. Those struggles can be anything: depression, addiction (alcohol, drugs, porn, etc.), divorce, bullying, sibling rivalries, self-love/hate… and the list goes on and on. The way we handle those struggles depends on the person. Some seek counseling and guidance from professionals, Pastors or trusted friends. Others try to work on them on their own. Some successfully. Others not so successfully. I have been there!

I wish I had a magic wand that could make everyone’s struggle their strength. Turn everyone’s mess into a message. I wouldn’t make everyone’s struggle disappear because our struggles are what test our faith. Our faith can move mountains!! Our struggles make us who we are. They help build our character.

 

My wish for everyone struggling with something…. Have Faith! Seek help! Don’t let your struggle define or destroy you. Turn your test into a testimony and don’t be afraid to share your experiences. Your testimony may not be able to help everyone but if it helps one person, it’s worth it!

Much love
