Hold On

Saturday, October 25, 2014

This is Day 25 of a 31 Day writing challenge. To read more about my 31 Days series and to catch up on any posts you've missed, be sure to check out my post 31 Days of INSPIRE!



I don't have a lot to say, today. I do have something I want to write before the end of the month, but it's not ready yet. So instead, I just want to share a word of encouragement for everyone who's struggling. 
 
And I think, if we're willing to be honest, that would be all of us.

We all have something we're going through. We're all fighting our own battles and walking the path we've been given.

And sometimes everything just seems so dark. We begin to wonder if it could ever get better. Hope seems so incredibly far away, sometimes...

Keep holding on.



You are not alone. You're not walking through this on your own. You don't have to do this by yourself. And there is always hope...


...

And my question today is what would you say to someone who is going through a stormy patch in life? I always love to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your response in the comment section below or over on my Facebook page!

    I love to hold onto a quote from "Meet the Robinsons." "Keep Moving Forward!" It's what I keep coming back to as I've walked the past 14 months of widowhood with four kids. Thanks for this encouragement after a rough week. Keep moving forward, fellow 31 Dayer.

    God is in control. No matter what happens in our lives and how hard our lives get, God is good, God is bigger, and God is faithful!

    Lovely graphics, and a lovely message. I've heard it said before, either you're in a storm, getting ready to go through one, or just got out of one... so your message really is for anyone!

    Hold onto the hope that is in Christ, remembering that God is sovereign and has a bigger picture than we can see.
    Great song!

    I've been through a few stormy patches, and my husband is currently going through (kind of) the perfect storm patch. My best advice is fix eyes on Jesus and let Him lead. Stay close to His side...and trust His goodness!
