“It is the hard days, the times that challenge you to you very core, that determine who you are.” ~ Sheryl Sandberg

Hard times don’t break you. They force you to dig deep, to tap into that reservoir of joy—a resolute and jubilant heart that yields much more than happiness; that deep sense of fulfillment—an unbothered peace—that only God can give in the midst of chaos.

The world can’t give this type of joy; and the world can’t take it away, unless you allow it.
