Life comes at us from out of the darkness. And at times we can struggle to find the courage to face it.

When life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? Will they be wise? And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light? Or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices? Or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, when it does -- is there someone in your life you can count on? Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall? And in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone?

Crossroads........

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our lives. And, of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. But, once in a while, people push onto something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going alone. And just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance.....

Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.

Because, it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And, it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be.

The person you want to be does exist; somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And, beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead.
