P.S. Note of Encouragement

Don’t worry about tomorrow. We are only given today. Today is the day you can embrace and look at square in the face to conquer. No matter what the challenge is, if you take each step knowing you have been given the tools needed to handle whatever it is you are facing, and that you are NEVER alone in the process, you will overcome. Deuteronomy 31:6.

Sometimes it takes a mindset shift when we face obstacles. Try to keep the bigger focus on something positive about your situation so you are always looking at it with eyes that see the glass half full. This will help keep hope alive when you are moving through something difficult.

And remember, just as the seasons change, and a new day dawns, this too shall pass. It won’t always be this way. No matter what the IT may be. It will get better and you will learn so much from walking through it.

Be kind to yourself as you walk through the process of overcoming and be encouraged!
