It’s so hard to believe, it’s hard to have faith, especially when things aren’t
working out. It’s difficult and a challenge when you continuously ask for what
you want and need in your life or at least what you think you want and need in
your life, but that’s when you have to believe and have faith the most. Who
knows how the blessings will flow or at what time or what hour those lessons are
going to come….When you give up, when you start to believe again, when you’re
crying, when it hurts so bad, when you’re too embarrassed to face anybody—
whatever—just be thankful because I believe that’s all God really wants from us
is to be appreciative. It’s been my way of thinking and I’m hoping to teach this
lil’ one these things.
