1.) so many challenging hurdles have happened these past few years...these past 6 months 2.) it's been a tough road to travel 3.) I believe that even though it doesn't seem that God is there for me, he is giving me a way to see that he is here...I just know 4.) although I have a lot of positive signs that encourage me, the road is still rocky 5.) in the midst of it all, I am grateful, and I am choosing to love, be patient, and be kind...I might not feel it sometimes, but I always try.
