My Story Isn't Over Yet

Last year was hard on me... for more reasons than I have shared up to this point. I lost some "friends," "pieces of my life." It was hard, even painful. Many times, I asked why God didn't just take me home. Looking back, as I type this, that statement makes me think of Job. I asked God several times why this was happening, and He said "Do you trust me?" He gave me a picture of a plant being pruned... while painful, pruning is necessary for healthy growth and fruit production. 
People have told me they admire how I have handled everything I have been through, but they have only seen the surface. They haven't seen the struggle I have had to keep going. I told someone a few times that I didn't see why God let me live. I felt like I was a burden. My scars tell a story, but more often than not, it's a story people don't want to hear, or they're tired of hearing it.
The past few months, I have been trying to get my business going again. The memory struggles have made it difficult. Feeling like I can't talk about it has made it even more difficult. This month, Lilla Rose came out with a unique Flexi Clip that really spoke to me in this area.
My story isn't over. I'm still here for a reason, and if that is to help one person, it's worth it.
