I thought I had it all. I had a good job, friends, and family. It wasn’t until I was faced with life’s challenges that I realized that I was alone. Sure I made mistakes, learned lessons but continued to persevere. No one to turn to no-one to help. My family was going through their own things so the last thing I wanted to do was burden them with my problems. It took me to realize that my help couldn’t come from “man” I needed a higher power. Not having anywhere to turn I decided to read the bible. It was then that I understood where my help would come from. I am who I am because “God” has ordered my steps, I went from saying “Why me” to “Why not me. I realized that “God” has a purpose for everyone. “His will” is just that “His will”. Sometimes I don’t understand the hows, or whys, to life but I have learned to trust him. He has given me the strength and peace to endure whatever his plans for my life are. I still face battles but I give it all to God and just ask for strength, and peace. When faced with circumstances I stand tall because I know that God is standing with me and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I live my life resting in his arms while he fights my life’s battles.view less
