We have all had our own crosses to bear, our own sources of hurt and pain, we've all gone at our own speed, come to things in our own time and in our own way, but we have always been there for one another, and when one has had their time to be down, the others have been there to lend a hand and a heart.
But what I have learned is that I couldn't have done this on my own, I couldn't will it or force it or horse myself through it. I had to let go and surrender the situation and my will to God. And take the help of the friends that He gave me along the way.
