By now many, if not, all of you reading this are familiar with my upbringing… it wasn’t an easy one! Point in fact, it should have claimed my life on numerous occasions… as I’m sure you have also read about, somewhere back in the archives.

You don’t even need to go back very far in those entries to see that I still live a very unstable and uncertain life. We face obstacles on a daily basis that most of you don’t want to know about… trust me on this!

It’s not always bad, in fact, we can sometimes go several weeks before there is another issue to face, or maybe it’s something we have addressed before and can now just stand upright and walk through it.

I credit my tough exterior, and will to survive, for being able to forget the tough times within less than 24 hours of a good day… though this can be both good and bad. It’s good in the sense that I bounce back quickly… it’s bad in that sometimes a new issue can hit like a punch to the face or stomach. I find myself feeling overwhelmed and in a sort of fight or flight mode, in like the blink of an eye… me… daughter of The King… what on earth is wrong with me? Oh yeah… I’m human!

This sort of encouragement simply must come only from Gods Word, therefore, I chose carefully…

Strong Enough by Matthew West really encompassed what I was speaking on this morning…
