As many of you know the last several years of my life have been nothing but hardship and one trial right after another.  For years it feels as if every step is a fight an d a struggle as if slowly walking up a mountain with hopes of something on the other side.  deployment, fire, miscarriage, divorce; trudging every day, believing if I just keep going, even if only a step, I might keep from falling down the slippery ravine. So step after step I have pushed, well beyond the strength I believe I had and even though I have wanted to give up at just about every point, I did not.  Every day is still a struggle, but I feel The peek is finally in view.  I am so close to reaching the top in order to behold all the blessing and hopes to come in my future.  All the work, all the pain, somehow pales a little knowing I am coming up to the top.  Coming up to the goal and although I may fall and slide a little on my way down to all the beauty I see, I am at least on my way down.  Stronger for the battle and fight I put in.
