At some point in time we all feel like a nut whether it is self imposed or other nuts have provoked us (not an excuse, just plain fact). If we really think about a time like that, when our actions, words, thoughts were out of control, we realize just how scared and alone we felt in the midst of it. Of course, we did not realize it at the time. The adrenaline, perhaps anger, the racing thoughts, maybe some yelling got us through it and we survived. It was not fun. Rather than feeling strong we felt lost. Yet, we survived it all.
We survived, and are stronger for it. We learned, and from then on try to avoid being in a situation where we might become a little nutty ever again. We grew in wisdom reaching heights in our lives we never knew possible.
We survived and We Remember. As we look back across our lives let us never forget that we couldn’t have made it this far without Divine intervention.
Stand tall and Strong. Stand your ground in Jesus name.
