My childhood provided me with the skills to climb, regardless of any obstacles that came my way. It is my belief that God used my childhood to prepare me for the journey ahead.
I was merely a child, unaware of my purpose, yet my early years were marked by immense difficulties.
It seemed that everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
I often wondered why I was chosen to endure such a challenging childhood.
The unrelenting storms I encountered along the path you had set before me were far beyond my level of preparedness.
The loss of a child nearly brought me to my breaking point, and I found myself embroiled in infidelity and marital problems.
I could not bear any more hardships, or so I thought.
Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, death once again appeared and took my husband from me.
In the face of this overwhelming situation, I am pondering what steps to take next.
How can I effectively navigate life as a single parent?
Is there a way for me to escape the hardships that await and the battles I must confront?
The adversary is well aware of my vulnerabilities, and I, unfortunately, feel ill-equipped to combat him.
I am tempted to give in to those temptations.
People say I am strong, but I feel weak and barely holding on.
How will I survive another attack from the enemy when I have already given up?
Then I hear you saying that you will be my strength if I seek you and surrender my weaknesses to you.
You whispered that I was created for a time like this and have the tools to defeat the enemy and handle whatever life throws at me.
Knowing you are with me, I plant your words in my soul, stand on them, wipe my tears, and prepare myself for battle.
