I choose joy and gratitude as I navigate the mountains, valleys, and detours of my life’s journey. Sometimes, the road is hard, and I receive strength and courage from God; sometimes He leads me beside the still waters to restore my soul. Always, I continue to press on in faith to finish the journey well for His glory.
