I'm not sure about you, but sometimes I need to listen to the wisdom of others.  
Difficult times and confusing circumstances can make the purpose in our life unclear.   
But hard times can help develop your character while your heart is searching for answers. 
Ensure that there are strong, godly women in your life that you can talk to and gain wisdom from when your path falters.   
More often than not, these painful experiences shape us into stronger, more compassionate, and faithful women.  


"It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke than to listen to the song of fools."
