Doctor's Orders

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger." Quote by _Constance La France For nearly forty years, I served in various capacities in my chosen career. The way seemed hard and dark, misty, cloudy and filled with fog. Every road I traveled led to struggles and questions, and never finding traction, I moved on. Since high school, every place in my abode was an unsettling one, and the fitting never seemed to be just right. But each job, position, struggle, and trial made me bigger and the better for it. The route was lonely, and the navigation was always challenging; and often The Lord seemed to have provided just enough, just in time. As the song says, "Through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God". I am now much better prepared and equipped to help others find their way through the jungle of life which can be treacherous at times. And looking back, I have concluded that my struggles were just what the doctor ordered. 111422PSCtest, WRITING CHALLENGE - ''V'' . Constance La France. 2P.
