Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” (Helen Keller) “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” (Thomas Jefferson)
There are people today that are suffering from mental illness and just need a helping hand . Some go to church to receive a message and reflect on that message to help them with whatever issues they are going through. Some people go to an AA/ NA/ OA/ Ect meetings . Some people go talk to a therapist, priest, coworker , friend, sibling, family member and other people are all alone in the dark and have no place to turn to . No place to run , cry , scream , and let their feelings out because they don’t have an outlet .
I want to let you know that you are not alone . There is no reason to fear; you are not alone. God has been there for every tear and every sorrow (Psalm 56:8), and He will strengthen your heart and help you back to your feet, no matter where He finds you today. My life has been very difficult . I am a product of divorce , abuse, single mother at one time, my children have Autism, ADHD, Encopresis, Bipolar, Dyslexia, Anger blackouts . In return I had to be their mediator, their Mom, their therapist and wear different hats to be there for them . I have felt alone, scared, trapped, confined and no place to turn for help . But I learned over the years through my life and helping my children with their life , there is help , there is an outlet . There is HOPE!
I will leave you with this short prayer today . This is my hope. But hope takes work . Hope is not flipping a penny and hoping that it lands on heads or tails. Hope is seeking wisdom , advice …… Wisdom helps with needs and balance for your life and others life too. Wisdom’s seven pillars, according to scripture, are: fear of the Lord, instruction, knowledge, understanding, discretion, counsel, and reproof!!
(Psalm 91) God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can,and Wisdom to know the difference.
Third Touch

I don’t think there is enough people out in this world to share their own personal story with hardships accompanied by accomplishments . But as you know accomplishments take work to get there . One step at a time ! One second at a time . There was a famous quote “ One step at a time is all it takes to get you there. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step “. Martin Luther King, Jr.
