(This is a post from earlier this summer during a very challenging time.  Miraculously, my dad made a full recovery.  I share this clip of my life for those of you who are going through difficult, sad, and/or uncertain times.)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 (KJ21)

Fighting back the tears today as I’m visiting Dad in the hospital a few weeks after his brain surgery.  Times like this bring LiFe InTo FoCuS.

Not sure how his recovery will go.  Will I ever have my Dad back?

Life is just tough for me now.  But I am determined to persevere.  All I know to do is lean on my faith and PuT oNe FoOt iN FrOnT oF tHe OtHeR day after day.  It is anything but pretty. But what are my options?

How is life going for you?  Maybe everything is going great.  If so AwEsOmE!  If, not, use this as a time to take stock of what is important and get LiFe iNtO FoCuS.  Nothing does that better than ChaLLeNgiNg TiMeS.

What can you do today to make that 1% Change?
