Hope Beyond Hardship: Tough Times End - 01.02.24

It’s cloudy now ☁️ and it may seem like it will remain that way but I promise you… somehow the sun always shines again 🌤️.

Hard times reach us all but God and life somehow give us the strength to pull through it all. It’s tough to hang in there… but never impossible 🙏🏼💚🧚

My Lovelies,

Isabelle here 😘❤️! This week's quote is also self-explanatory and also comes from my experience with difficult situations and difficult days. It is during those times when we may sit somewhere, whether metaphorically or literally, and reflect on the times that we are experiencing. It may feel like we are in these situations forever and that we are in a tunnel without end; however, the truth of the matter is that they do eventually end. Nothing can last forever... Life won't last that long, and the human mind and body would not be able to handle it.

Whether we like to admit it or not, these times also help us grow. They help us find a strength, a resilience if you will, that we would not be able to find otherwise. It is under adversity that we are able to find out what we are made of and what we are truly able to withstand. Yes, it is unfortunate and, if I may say, it sucks that we have to find out our strength in this way; however, such is the journey of life and the condition of humankind.

My hope with this quote is that you will look up into gloomy skies, when they appear in your life, and know that the sun is just right behind them. You may not see it or feel it but its rays are there. Just as you woke up one day to see clouds forming and taking over your skies I can promise you that you will see the sun once again just as easily. To those of you undergoing trying and difficult times. Hang in there. I reiterate that I know it's easier said than done, but hang in there! Better days are ahead and this too shall pass.

Until the next one, My Loves,

XOXO Isabelle 😘❤️ XOXO
