"Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material." - Fitzgerald
“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence" Mark Twain
I've been in a really tough place with the unthinkable happening to me. At first I asked why God me, how could this possibly happen to me?

It's not easy when you are faced with terrible situations but it's much harder when you don't let your past go and realize you can't fix yourself only God can. The only thing you can do as a person of God is to live in grace and embrace your second chance to do better this time around.

and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God,
I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God,
