As I sit and watch the water ripple along the lighted beam, I am reminded of my life's struggles. In those moments of sadness, of sorrow and strife I found myself fighting against the current. Gasping for air as waves roll over the top of me. Fatigue settling in my limbs as I flight to stay a float. It's in those moments when our faith is truly tested, for you feel hopeless against the vastness of the world. Giving in and letting go seems to be the only way to catch your breath and ride the tide to shore. It's in these moments you must remember; without struggle you will build no strength, you will be weaker with worry and washed out by fear. Unable to swim in accomplishment to a shore of success. Even in dark places there is light and when the waters are rocky hold on tightly to your faith and fight.
