To begin to sum up the last seven weeks here, I'm just not sure that I could do it. I've been through so much, seen so much, and fought so much with God.. but He has won. I have learned how to fight for my faith. Granted, I am still trying to find new ways to fight for my freedom (and fight for my sanity) everyday. What has really helped me has been to have quiet time with God everyday. I never thought that spending time with my heavenly Creator at the start of everyday could really change the way I go about my day.
This may seem obvious to say, but God fascinates me. I am growing ever fascinated and intrigued with the things He has to offer me.
I could take up this space to tell you all about the experiences I've had and the stories I've heard and been a part of but instead, I want to ask you to pray for the following people. I will not tell you where I met them, or their stories (unless you would like to ask me personally) as a means to protect their identity.

…just to name a few.
I challenge you right now to ask yourself if you're fighting for something, or for anything. If you aren't, you should be. I will fight for these people that God has laid on my heart like He has shown me that He will fight for me.
So, who are you fighting for?
Fight for someone.
Fight for something.
Fight for yourself!
There are so many people in this world that don't know how to fight, or that have given up the fight. FIGHT FOR THEM. And if you are one of them? Do something about it. Don't keep sitting at home wondering why your life is happening to you. Happen to your life! Fight for your freedom. For for your faith.
Do not lose heart, my friend.
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
-Romans 8:35-37
