I turned and said, "Sweetheart, we will get through this." " We will come out the other side." Just keep walking requires much persistence.

I was driving my 17-year-old granddaughter to school that morning. The questions I was asking her centered around who we would be when we reached the other side. Life is a journey.

I have read that everyone is a leader. There is always someone out there observing and following in your footsteps. "Where are you going?" I asked her. Look at how you may be used to inspire others to keep walking. Before she went into the school, we sat and listened to a song. She loved the music and the Artist. I made arrangements that day for us to see Lauren Daigle perform at an upcoming event in six months. Little did I know, little did I know the impact that day would have on our lives. I would never have predicted the changes in our worlds between then and the concert. That is a whole story—one only the two of us share.

I do not believe what unfolded was an accident or coincidence. Life puts you where you are, exactly where you are supposed to be when you choose to be a warrior. nan*
