You have worked hard to overcome
challenges and I pray that you remember
how great it feels to be on the mountaintop.
When the hard times come, and they always
do, start climbing again. You will reach the
sky if you have faith in your abilities. Above
all, keep having faith in God’s ability to
sustain you and hold on to you while you
climb! No matter where you are or what you
do, your family is always here and will always
love you!
