It’s so interesting when I started my blog the idea of breaking barriers came to mind, but the more I live it out the more I come to understand that term so much more. As life occurs, I recognize how often we face obstacles in our lives and the measures we take to get pass them. The word that comes to mind through all of this is pivot. When trials come we often become annoyed, angry, agitated, and frustrated, but it is in those moments we must go back to God and ask the question what do you want me to gain through this experience.

I often ask myself this question. Children are so open. They don’t question why something can’t be done, they just believe it came be done. I love being around children for this reason; they are free. We could learn so much from them. Instead of questioning why you can’t do something, change up how you think. You can!
