Challenges, Ups & Downs

 Life is a series of challenges and ups and downs. I've been in the states for three months

Life is a series of challenges, ups and downs. I've been in the states for three months. I'm  grateful and thankful for my life but I've been dealing with some challenges since I've come back. 

These challenges have contributed to my lack of posts on this blog, but I'm determined to get some type of stability back into my life.  I'm going to start by posting on this blog once a week. Writing is what keeps me going. I love to write and I need something to keep me going, something that fills me with hope.. 

I trust The Almighty in everything that is going on in my life right now. My trust is strong, but I'm still human. I have more good days than bad.. The good days are awesome, but I have some days where I'm not at my best. It's those days my faith in the Almighty is tested. I have to remind myself to live in the moment and stay focused on my trust in The Almighty. I have to remind myself the frustrations I'm feeling will pass and I have to remind myself I'm entitled to feel some kind of way sometimes. I don't always have to smile through the pain.  It's OK to cry sometimes. 

This post is to remind myself to always trust The Almighty. It is a post to remind me that these moments of hardship is special and even if it's a bit hard, it is preparing me for something greater and more fulfilling than what I see. All the sleepless nights, the disappointments, the feelings of uncertainty, the feelings of hopelessness reminds me there is a bigger picture and I'm being trained and prepared to step into that big picture. 

Thank you Almighty. I  am grateful, thankful and content. I trust Almighty and believe the challenges, ups and downs I'm facing will make me stronger and prepared for what lies ahead.
