I have been going through some rough times lately... sorry if this post seems a little dreary but sometimes you gotta be real, you know? It helps to just get it all out there somehow..
We all have those times in our lives when things are just hard and we have to climb a mountain or two or three. I am just a girl who is trudging along, … and while we all have our own mountains to climb, some days I guess it is ok to stop & sit down for a few, take a deep breath… then get back up and dust off and keep on trudging!
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
