We are quickly approaching 2023, and I am reminded of many challenges, pain, overcoming obstacles, finding joy in the journey, and becoming who I am as a wife, mother, and business owner. Nelson Mandela said the “The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.” We have so many chapters in our lives; however, don’t get lost in the one you’re in now. We are rising about as we are taking up our cross in our lives and becoming new. Remember, all things are possible to them who believe.
Meditate on II Corinthians12:10
“So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].”
