Life is all about choices that only you can control. Situations occurs in our lives that we have no control of and not even an answer. The persons who I needed answers from has transitioned. I had faith in no one I thought I knew that could assist me through the pain. It was my heavenly father who said "Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you." I prayed to Him for help and He helped me with the pain I was going through. He made me strong and I overcame what I was feeling. I pray for you to trust Jesus with all your pain, He will never forsake you or leave you. He holds the key to all our needs and pain.
