The Secret of Life
There’s something I learned a few years ago that you might need to learn too. There’s a hero lurking inside of us. One that is strong and true and brave. A hero that is determined to overcome. A hero that is faithful and loyal and even though they’re afraid sometimes (and sometimes way more than just sometimes!) will push through until they reach the light, then share that light with everyone around them.
After becoming a single parent, I was forced to start my life and career over at the age of 39.
Not easy. But we pressed on. Looking back, I realize the guidance and help of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ got us through those years. He showed me how to reach deep to find that inner hero. It resulted in a career in public education and two years of missions work with YWAM. Most importantly my two children ended up becoming successful, kind, and loving adults. I am so blessed!
These days? I get to tell my story and write down stories in the hope it will encourage others to take the risk and put on their hero cape.
So, let me ask: Is it time you let the hero come out? Is time for you to put on your cape?
Join me here and we’ll explore how to do that, together.
