It’s been a hard day. Nothing too tragic… nothing too earth shattering… just hard.
Sometimes I just want to throw in the towel and say why bother? I always fail. I want to retreat. Hide away. Get away from social media. Hide under a rock.
But I remember that we all fail. We all mess up. We all get back up.
Imagine if you were perfect. Could you really lend that shoulder to cry on? Look that friend in the eyes and in the truest, most humble fashion say, I understand what you are going through… let me walk this out with you?
Are you going through a tough spell? Do you want to give up, like I do?
Could I kindly whisper, don’t? I know… I really know… you want to. It would be easier.
But God has a much grander purpose in what you are going through. It is to make you more like Himself, and to glorify Him in the process.
Many of my sweet, sweet friends are in this video. Friends I have met in the “online community”. So thankful for their friendships and ministry to me. Take a look… it is why we need one another.
When You Feel Like Giving Up… And Why You Shouldn’t
Thanks for visiting!

The video said it so perfectly – community, support, encouragement in our faith, in our challenges and our dreams. Walking in faith that one day I can be there in real!

Traci, I can so relate! I felt that way just this morning. But a friend, someone who’s “been there, done that”, was able to offer their kind words of encouragement and pull me through.
Many blessings!
