Its always amazing to me how life permits everyone many paths to take! Some people have similar journeys and yet different experiences with each one. Have you ever sat and really began to ponder on some of your own experiences and wonder how you made it through?

In life, there are many broken pieces along the way, many doors that have seemingly remained shut; and many folk who have appeared to have the best intentions and haven't. Nevertheless you; like I, have managed to keep standing in the midst of it all. An abundance of us have adapted to many of the storms of life and we have come out proudly proclaiming, " I am Still Here." Now this is not just a cliche' or a casual mantra, but....rather a declaration that what should have taken us out and defeated us. has only revealed the resiliency in us!

When we NOT only face struggles, heartaches, and setbacks but also plow through them and overcome them......we have an opportunity to see what God has placed inside of us! This is exactly why it is detrimentally important to realize that there are different paths and journeys for all of us. Each experience is what produces that Amazing Victory shout that simply says once again, " I Am Still Here!" Please understand that anytime that we as individuals, recognize and admit that we have struggles, we empower ourselves to move forward. Seems totally crazy, right?! It's not. Life is sure to present to us, many knock out-knockdown challenges at some time or another. Even in the midst of all that we go through, we do not have to let it rob of us of all our strength and joy. While living life, we should all have the opportunity to see that even in our lowest places and darkest nights there is still a reason to smile!

Embrace that there is purpose in your life and its only discovered through the very tests and trials we encounter and overcome. Although your story and adventures may be totally opposite and different from mine....we all have come through some things that we look back on now and say "I Am Still Here"
