Micah 7:7 But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. I'm counting on God to listen to me.
The hardest pill I swallowed this year was realizing that you can feel completely alone in your lowest, and time won’t slow down for you, days still pass, people still laugh, life still demands things from you. No one stops to ask if you’re okay enough to keep going. So you learn to stand for yourself, even when your legs are shaking. You learn to be your own voice, your own support, your own reason to keep breathing. It’s a hard truth, but it stays with you: at the end of the day, when the noise fades, and everyone else is gone, the only person left to root for you is you
Joy isn’t the absence of problems, it’s the refusal to let them define you. You’ll never outgrow your problems, you just have to become the kind of person they can’t hold down.
