Overcoming Obstacles

Many people overcome obstacles in many different ways. Some in a good way, and some in a bad way, Some people feel like they are alone. You are never alone because God is always with you every step of the way. I have had very many obstacles to overcome in my life; some that I am still trying to overcome today.
