I used to wonder why there were so many gospel songs about getting through hard times. Seemed like no one was ever on the other side. Someone was always going through something trying to get to better. Well, this morning it dawned on me—after posting one of thousands of the same “Lord, please help us through the struggle” posts—that so many are actually going through something and need encouragement or motivation to make it through. They need hope.

Side note: I was pretty annoyed with myself after my last blog. Just being honest. I was like, “Girl, no more struggle posts. People are tired of reading them.” Then, I was reminded that there are people who are actually going through some pretty rough times right now and are on the verge of giving up. They need a little bit of hope to continue on. Hope is what has gotten us this far, and it’s hope that will keep us going. Amen
Gotta keep hope alive.♥️
