Focus on doing something each day. Celebrate that! Victory requires action. Practical answers and biblical truths will prompt you to take that first step to press onward.

He has a plan and a purpose in all this mess. Let's see how God uses trials for your good and how you can persevere even when life throws you those painful curve balls.

In life, pain is mandatory, but suffering is optional, depending on how you respond. How do you avoid those joy killers that reduce the delight, wonder, and pleasure found in the glory of each day? Let's lean in together and discover those answers!
