2017 has been a tough year for me losing my spouse to diabetes, losing my job and almost losing my house . My struggles is what made me stronger, I definitely wanted to give up I was truly devastated all these things we're happening to me, and I didn't know what I did to deserve this. I cried a many nights because I felt my world was coming apart. An all the people that said they would stand by me, wouldn't even call me when the tough got going they got little fast ! All I could hear is God saying, I didn't bring you this far to abandon you Steven these trials and tribulations you're going thru are just a test of your faith. And at that moment I felt some comfort, in knowing that this too will pass and just maybe I'll be able to piece together my life again. And I did with God's help I was able to find a job, get back on track with my bills and find some peace with the the Lost of my spouse, I've been thru the fire but I made it out unscathed,thanks to my faith in God that why I will never give up on you all I know that life can seem hopeless sometimes but God wants us to never stop trying or give up on your dreams.
