I move my steps through the snowy branches. I gasp for breath. I head for the top of the mountain where the winter sun shines.

“Because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” (Romans 5:3-4) I am happy with my hardships when I look at the Lord who uses the difficulties that I face in my life time as a chance to make me more beautiful. Oh my Lord, you do not forsake me, a sinner. May the Lord let me be holy according to your will!
