Resilience...

Heard from a long-time friend and colleague today about starting anew – new place to live, new job, new lease on life.  What makes this news so special is that this isn’t someone who has always had everything just fall into place, just go her way.  In fact, I’ve seen her knocked down on a few occasions only to come back stronger every time.   She could write the book on resiliency and I hope someday, she does. 

But something else happened with each bout of adversity:  her faith became stronger and her relationship with the one above blossomed.  When you have faith, you have hope.  And when you have hope, you persevere.  And with perseverance you not only land on your feet, but sometimes, on the mountaintop.  You go girlfriend!
