Beyond the Circumstances

Can't you picture
It?
Right when your big break 
Comes you
Undergo a
Massive heart attack, a
Sudden loss of a loved one, and
The total destruction of your home
All at once.
No one on Earth
Can erase the initial pain you'll go through; but
Everyone has to learn that true joy is learning not to
Settle and remain in your "disaster"; but, to thrive and live beyond your circumstances.

Excellent thought Brandee remindes me of what Jobe went through in the bible and never lost his faith in God. Excellent write. Michael Torres
