“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” – Henry Ford

Honestly, I find myself asking what can I possibly write about this.

I have witnessed so many struggling in very difficult situations and battles recently.

I have heard those of long lasting faith, doubt whether God really does anything for us or not.

I am feeling responsibility for those I love who are suffering.

I am with them in their sense of overwhelming winds blowing them in every direction as they ….as they what? What do they do?

All I can say is this.

I have had many strong winds in my life. In these winds, came a man named Sharp Object came and cut me to the bone. Another beast, named Rock, crushed my heart. Fear and Helplessness poured out demeaning talk and insult…

But like the plane flying against the wind, I grew wings that held me strong. I soared to safe ground once more.

If you are facing these winds and hurtful, difficult, overwhelming circumstances know that you can.

Phil 4:13 I CAN do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

I CAN. You CAN.
