Keep Going...
By Ronald Curtis Jr
Challenges, Struggles, Stress, Financial Worries, Relationship Troubles, It's One Thing After Another..... Any of these sound familiar? One of my mentors once said, "If you are going through Hell, KEEP GOING...." Jesus said, “In this world you will have tribulation …” (John 16:33). So, how about it? Do you believe that growth happens during those times of our greatest struggles and hardships? Have you ever heard of the expression, "Lesson continued until lesson learned?" Or, "That which does not kill us, strengthens us?" Or, "God only gives us what we can handle?" In truth, life is definitely not easy!!! However, if we analyze these statements, can we find peace during times of hardships? In essence if we are struggling, regardless as to the circumstance, is there a lesson that we are supposed to learn from the experience? Looking back on our life it is evident there is truth to this. We never appreciated an abundance of money, until we experienced the lack of it. We didn't appreciate family living close, until we moved 800 miles away and had no family nearby. Just to name a couple.... Early in our learning about Prosperity we heard our mentor say, "In order to truly experience and appreciate prosperity, you must also experience poverty." Another saying which I remember hearing many times growing up was, "You don't appreciate what you have until it is gone." Or, "The grass isn't always greener on the other side." Again, to experience both sides of any situation seems to offer a better sense of understanding. Indeed a lesson learned... Life is definitely a learning experience. Over the years we have learned that no matter the situation you are facing, stay strong, expect the unexpected, and most of all, have Faith, that you will overcome it. Embrace each experience as a life lesson and learn to enjoy the ride. Everyone will experience peaks and valleys! Time does not slow down for anyone. Stay strong and keep going..... In Christ,
Ron "Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." Arnold Schwarzenegger |

Occasionally, for those who have been or are in that position, keeping going is not an option - it is the be all and end all. I am staring blindness in the face, feel guilty because I cannot give my dogs all the attention they need, manage a frugal meal on every third day (white beans and tomato) and am seriously considering the joys of living on the streets for my last few months. While I would not seriously consider mot going on, the idea does have attractions when the trough you are in appears to be vertical sided and bottomless. Keeping going is not really an option, it is simple human nature.
