God just keeps reminding me over and over and over that no matter how well I think I know someone everybody is fighting their own battle. Nobody's perfect and we're all dealing with life. It can be incredibly hard to face trials of any kind. Many try to cope with their trials by relying on alcohol, drugs and lots of other things to "take away" their problems. As far as I've seen or heard those things have not taken away problems. In fact they create more problems, effectively breaking down lives and pulling families and friends apart.
He is continuing to reveal over and over to me how much we all need Him. He can use you no matter how broken you think you are.
Nobody ever said this journey was going to be easy. I can tell you something right now......it will NOT be easy. But God is always there and He will never leave you.
"I will never leave you nor forsake." ~ Joshua 1:5
He is there. Cry out to Him. He will take your life and use it.
I want my life to speak this message to all who know me or meet me. I can't wait to go to Costa Rica and spread the news about our wonderful Savior who cares about and loves you and me!
