“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Even though a particular challenge has the same label for all afflicted, the manifestation is as unique as each individual.
Always remember: You are not your challenge; You are not the label; You are not only that.
For it is written:
“You have hedged me in behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me…I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”

Your tastes and the things you enjoy shift with each season.
Embrace and grow gracefully through the seasons of your life.
For it is written:
“When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete,
