COT: – YHC struggles with control and letting go. Thinking my plan is the best. Time and time again, it’s proven not to be the case. In this respect, kids are great teachers (mine may be on Buddha’s level) and blow up the best laid plans. Let’s try to see struggles and detours as opportunities to learn, to grow, to let go.

Sometimes you have to experience pain and suffering to see a reward. God has the greatest reward for those that are faithful in tough times and promised to pay us back in double for our pain and give a crown of beauty instead of ashes.

Dont let the thoughts of discouragement or self pity keep you from moving forward.
