Have you ever been at a point in your life when you were ready to throw in the towel? You were ready to give up. You couldn’t take anymore. You were ready to call it quits. You’d had just about all you could take.
I know I have, many times, way before I got married. Life as a single mother was not easy. There were days when I just felt if I gave up or cashed out then life would be better for my kids.
Many times I could barely feed them and I would not eat just so they could. There were times I would tell them I wanted to let them spend the night with family when in actuality the lights were off but I couldn’t tell them the truth. There were times when the car broke down and we walked to the store for exercise or family time but they never knew the difference.
It was easier to keep things from them when they were small but as they got older, my daughter was so nosy. I had to come up with more creative ways to keep them from knowing just how hard I was struggling.
Life seemed so hard then I often wavered in my faith, I would say I have faith in God and then I would try to figure things out. I would say I won’t worry and turn right around and cry at night when the lights were out or a bill couldn’t get paid.
I am so grateful for the growth I am experiencing. I am going through some of the same financial struggles yet I am steadfast and un moveable. The devil is still busy attacking and he seems determined, like he’s angry and yet I am steadfast and un moveable. I was out sick for about 3 weeks and didn’t have enough time to cover all those days yet I am steadfast and un moveable.
In the past I would have thrown in the towel, gave up and taken a different route. I am truly amazed at the peace I feel since I have began to LET GO AND LET GOD. I feel the presence of Jesus all around me and it is so wonderful. I am no longer ashamed to show my love for God and the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I am no longer ashamed to give praise right where I stand.
I was at my daughter’s apartment earlier this evening and we were standing in the parking lot just talking and sharing how the devil has been busy attacking again. My other daughter said we should pray and we all agreed and decided to pray right there standing in the parking lot. It didn’t matter where we were or whom was around and we praised him for what he’s about to do in our lives when we finished.
No matter what challenges or obstacles the devil tries to throw at us, we WILL remain steadfast and un moveable in our faith that God Will Provide.

Your transparency is phenomenal. We all experience if not the same, similar struggles in our lives. There are times where I didn’t know where my Kids meals were gonna come from and I have a husband lol. Life happens. I’m so happy for you remaining unbreakable during trying times….. So you know what that means right? The sun is gonna start peaking through the clouds cause the storm is almost gone.
Thank you Kimberly, yes maam, I know my breakthrough is around the corner. I know I have to remain steadfast and unmovable because the devil peeks his ugly beady head up every chance he gets and I refuse to give him any glory.

We will remain steadfast and unmovable!
Yes Chelsea, we have to. God requires it as part of our faith.
