Stronger than the Storm

#lemon8contest #AskLemon8

The past 10 years of my life went nothing like I expected.

I’ve been tried and tested.

I’ve felt like giving up— I have given up.

I’ve cracked under pressure and excelled when backed into a corner.

I’ve showed up for others when no one else showed up for me.

I gave life the best I had and sometimes it wasn’t enough to get me where I wanted to be.

BUT GOD! It was always enough for God to work with. His word says “faith the size of a mustard seed” and sometimes that’s all I had. Just crazy faith.

This life you see now was prayed for… fought hard for… some days it’s hanging on by the hem of His garment but everyday it is worth it!

Keep going. Stay in His will. Honor Him in all you do. Stay humble. Work hard. Give it your best and let Him do the rest. It gets better I promise 🤞🏽

... Read moreLife can throw unexpected challenges our way, testing our resilience and willpower. In my ten-year journey, I faced numerous highs and lows, almost losing hope at times. Yet, despite the struggles, I learned that having 'faith the size of a mustard seed' can lead to transformative experiences. The phrase, 'Don't let the pretty pictures fool you. I almost died fighting for this life,' resonates deeply with many who struggle silently. This narrative reflects the universal themes of endurance, determination, and faith. Many individuals may relate to that feeling of being on the brink of giving up, but it's essential to keep pushing forward. Surrounding ourselves with positivity, practicing gratitude, and maintaining a focus on personal goals can make a significant difference. Remember to celebrate small victories along the way; each step forward is worth acknowledging. Engaging with supportive communities or groups can also provide encouragement during life’s storms. Sharing our stories allows for collective healing and inspiration. Trust that, through faith and hard work, we can weather any storm and emerge stronger than before.

You’re Stronger Than the Storm You’re In
Noah didn’t ask for the storm, but God prepared him for it. People doubted him. Mocked his obedience. Called him crazy for building something they didn’t understand. But when the storm came, Noah didn’t sink… He rose. This is your reminder that the storm you’re facing is not a sign that

Just My Opinion!!!!……. Have Faith: This means trusting that our current pain is temporary. We choose to believe that joy will return. Overcome: This is a reminder of our inner resilience. We are stronger than the obstacles in our path. Push Forward: This means taking one small step at a time.
