Am I Letting This Mess Define Me or Refine Me?

Words are really never enough to express the support from the foundation!
I wanted to copy and paste these words from Christian author Lisa TerKeurst to express my gratitude :

We all have messes in our lives. Financial messes.
Relationship messes. Health messes. Home messes. Business messes.

Sometimes messes are small and just feel like a slight annoyance. Other times, they are so huge they strip the hope right out of our lives. But here's a thought to ponder right in the midst of your mess:

Am I letting this mess define me or refine me?
The answer to this question is crucial.

If I am letting a mess define me, I will feel hopeless.
If I am letting a mess refine me, I will be hopeful.

Thank you to the Foundation!

Sincerely,

Nancy G
