Rain Storms

I always try my best to be a positive person who finds the good in every negative situation and live by faith. My faith has really been 
S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D these last couple of weeks, even more so since last week. Contrary to popular opinion, even people of great faith sometimes find themselves in situations where their faith is being pushed to what seems insurmountable levels. To the point where they want to just give up!  I must be honest, this is how I felt last week.  However, I am thankful for true friends that pray for me and encourage me when I struggle to pray for myself.  Thankful for friends who don't judge me when the negative voices become louder than the positive ones. Thankful for friends who see and know my strengths even in my weak moments they encourage me to Move Forward!

Whether you are going through martial separation or just experiencing life circumstances, it is important to have "true friends" who are in your corner.  They let you vent, but they talk you off the ledge because they know the real you and your real strength.  Genuine friends come visit you at your pity party, but they don't stay and party with you.  They encourage you to leave the party with them.  They are your designated driver! The obstacles that I am facing have not been overcome yet but I have faith that I will be victorious because God has my back.  He is the best designated driver.  With Him I am like the big strong oak tree that is in the middle of a strong rain storm.  I may bend but I will not break!

I just want to encourage anyone who may be reading this to not give up and keep the faith!  I can't tell you when things will get better but I can promise you that if you stay the positive course and focus on the good and not the negative you will make it.
