“Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. ~ Rikki Rogers.

When I look back over my life and the things I’ve overcome—all odds against me—I can’t help but be grateful for adversity.

Adversity shaped me into the person I am today. It strengthened me beyond my imagination. It groomed me for my present season and will continue to prepare me for the seasons to come.

Adversity disguises itself as an enemy, but for those who embrace the journey—determined to overcome—adversity becomes an unlikely friend.

You are stronger than you think.
