Rise Above

Don't look back. You're not going that way.
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
You may not be where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
Let your trust is God's healing power lift you up and propel you forward.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think,
and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined.
Even now, raw, drained and bare.
You have not truly lived until you Rise Above. ​24x48 Sold
