This is a very special initiative because the topic is a very nice one.
Merry Christmas to everyone here. I believe that we are all doing well and we are also great full to God to seeing us through all the ups and downs of the year 2025. Is been a very big year and the struggles too are much. But in everything we give all the glory to God because he deserves it all.
This is Hive reach-out initiative 77. The topic is GIVEN UP. In this life there will always be that time that you think that the fight is not worth it. Alot of negative thought will flow through your mind and one will also feel like to end it all. Some have given up by taken their own life and some have given up by not fighting anymore as a result of not believing in oneself any more. But for me I think that no matter what I have always fourth to the end.
I think that because of the topic of the week I will be sharing some heart touching stories that I have experienced and by God's grace I am here today.
NO GOING BACK
There are lots of stories to share but let me limit it to just one for the sake of this topic.
I grew up as a school dropout and I also got married as one. I never had any support from anyone helping me to go back to school. So after twenty five years out of school and also after having my five children I decided to close down my shop and go back to school. Maybe at the time when I was taken that decision I never thought of the financial implications. I just wanted to go back to school. Also at that time all my children were already in school. The journey started smoothly, but gradually became tough when the reality of having to pay my school fees and that of my children showed up at my door step.
The family started going from one debt to another just to make sure that things were moving fine. I also had my computer and photocopier at home that helps us to raise a little money from time to time. But it was just a pie nut for the family. It got to a point where I could no longer concentrate in my studies because of lack of finance. I just decided to give up and go back to business. I called my husband that I will no longer continue with my studies.
My husband was my anchor and still my anchor. He insisted that I should continue and never allow our temporary situation stop me from going to school. His encouraging words helped me to pick up again and never give up.
Because of that I decided to give this write up this title - When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. No given up in life and even if one have given up and we can still try again because once there is life, there is hope.
