Some days it feels like one step forward, two steps back. Just because something looks pretty, doesn’t mean everything is going the way you want or are working toward. I’m frustrated, but undeterred. I’ve been through so many challenges, so much heartache and overwhelming pain in my career and life. And I’ve always persevered because my hope does not lie in the world but in God alone. I love how He uses the moments when we feel at our lowest and weakest to grow and equip us for what He knows is coming on the road ahead. I’m in a season of growth. While it doesn’t always feel good, I can have joy in the midst of it because I know He’s not going to leave me here. Excited for what’s to come. #hope #thereisalwayshope #persevere #overcomer #hisgraceissufficient #notdoneyet #eternaloptimist #olympian #diving #platformdiving #femaleathlete #womeninsport #fitoverforty #acdf #iwillrise
