after repeated encounters with failures and obstacles, things would definitely seem rather helpless.

and that's probably the most tempting time to just throw in the towel, and attempt to convince oneself that you would excel better in some other aspect.

just reminded that it will always be insufficient if i try to live using my own strength, relying on my own abilities. it seems now that it's just struggling to stay afloat.

learn to depend on His strength, and realize that all that you've been doing is not a given.

i will never have chosen this path without first taking the first step to trust.

'where would i be today, without you?'

every extra day is a bonus, every new opportunity an added blessing.

learning to treasure all that i have been given.

'hope does not disappoint'
