Tough Season?

July 10, 2019 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

We all have them–those times when life just gets really really hard. In one of my hardest seasons yet, I can vividly recall how alone and scared I felt. I was desperate to talk with someone who had lived through it and actually survived.

I vowed that, if it was within my power, I would do whatever I could to walk with others in similar situations… in the hopes they might not feel alone.

So today, even when it can be hard to do so, I try to make myself available to sit with those who are just now feeling how I was in that particularly tough season.

It’s not easy. But so worth it.

Who can you support through their tough season?
