There will be days when you look up the staircase of the day and you tell yourself you can't do it.

You can do it. One step at a time. Just take a step anyway.

There will be days when life is going so fast you can't seem to catch it standing still.

Catch it. You can.
Get your butt out of bed. In fact, JUMP out.

Call your friends, they will encourage you. If they don't.....get new friends.

Eat something delicious.

WORSHIP.
He knows. He sees. He has the victory. HIS resurrection blood is flowing through YOUR veins, that means YOU have the victory, too. And so do I.
Note to self: with HIM- you've got this.
