All things are lessons God would have me learn. It is in that spirit, that I thank God for all my hardships, struggles, failures, disappointments, rough patches and truly bad moments in my life. I am so grateful for all of it. They are all life lessons, which I have learned and grown tremendously from. None of us would ever learn to appreciate the sunny days, if not for the cloudy days. Withou the bad times, we wouldn’t be able to wholeheartedly appreciate the good times. Thank God for the tough times. They make the good times so much better and more meaningful. With that said, however, I sure am thankful that my rough patch is over. I had very many years of bad and now the good is showing up in my life. I’m so glad that the bad has passed. I’m so blessed to have been able to have the opportunity to see God’s light shine through in the middle of so much darkness and grab a hold of it and become lifted up by it. God has grabbed me by the hand and taken me out of any trace of darkness. It’s tremendous what God has been doing in my life. There are many blessings to be had. I am forever grateful to the Almighty God. He has truly set me free and broken the many chains that bound me.
