You will never know how strong you are until you go through a valley. I am 52 I have lived a very rough life . I was abused for 26 years . I have years of pstd. I am a black sheep of my family . But sometimes my biggest battle is feeling alone .

I need some guidance. I am doing this program and I am letting fear stop me. I don’t know how to stop dragging my feet and the whole fear thing

Did you know…When storms roll across the plains, most animals run for shelter. The sky darkens. The wind howls. The thunder rumbles in the distance. Cows panic and run away from the storm, but because the storm is moving in the same direction, they end up running with it—tired, cold, and stuck in the rain far longer than they needed to be. But the buffalo? It does the opposite. When the clouds gather and the storm begins, the buffalo lowers its head and runs straight toward it. It doesn’t avoid the hard thing. It conquers it. And isn’t that what we often do in our daily lives? We put off the tough conversations. We avoid the big project. We delay the workout, the prayer time, the dream we keep saying we’ll start “someday.” We run with the storm instead of through it. But the truth is, the faster we face what we’ve been avoiding,the faster we find peace on the other side. The storm may look scary, but the strength you’ll gain in walking through it will change you. So today, stop running from the hard stuff. Face it. Move through it. Rise with courage and faith. Don’t hide from the storm. Conquer it. Be the buffalo.

Do you or someone you know need prayers? Please comment so we can unite in prayer for each other. Comment on others and let them know if you are praying for them. Right now there are catastrophic weather conditions happening in Jamaica and the surrounding areas that need abundant prayer and so many sick, tired, mentally exhausted, and more. Let's unite in prayer for each other and our world.

So I don’t read the Bible nor do I ever plan to. What amazes me is that God doesn’t care about that. He is always encouraging me
