Have been watching the world in general and there is something that I don’t like about it. I don’t actually understand whether it is normal or human nature to lower someone down whenever he/she tries to step up or what? According to my research I have discovered that relatives, closest friend can discourage you. I would like to share briefly a personal story that I could never imagine could happening.
I had a female teachers in primary school who was very superior to everyone. She was not discriminative and she always helped whenever I had difficulty. Each time I had a dilemma she was the first person I went to for help. I even used to share all my secrets with her and also my struggles. But the time came when the lord sent good hearted people like Don Wilks, Molly and Zach, James and Desiree MCcarty. They decided to pay my college fees. I was particularly cheerful so I decided to go and inform my former teacher. There and there I started explaining to her the whole story. To look at her she had already altered her face, not happy at all and she immediately started to tell me that I can’t make it...then she turned and left me talking to myself. I was much discouraged and I started to question myself like was its wrong to tell her of my happiness.
Such things occur in this real life and it is even difficult to differentiate between a friend and foe. People will love you when you ask things from them, when you are deprived and depending on them and when things tend to be good on you they start to discourage you. I would like to persuade you not to let them pull you down.

Some people will be envious of the the improvements and successes you are having. They may also be jeolous. Anastacia, you must not let them get you down. You will also find people who will be cheering for you to continue to improve your life. Those will be your true friends. You also will have a resonsibilty...to remember your friends and thank them for their encouragement. And, of course, to thank God every day for the blessings He is bestowing on you. I hope you will count me as one of your friends. Dont forget to get your facebook page completed!! Jill and I will keep praying for you, Larry
Apparently Tasha that is how the world is. Let me give you a secret: those people are amongst us to make us run that extra mile. Their discouraging remarks give us more strength to even aim for things high realizing that not everybody cherishes our success. Don't agonize asking why they are there. They remind us that we do not share the same platform in this world and that everybody must struggle to occupy that place where those out to discourage you never come close.
Keep it up the good fight Tasha. Am motivated by your resilience and effort to make each day a wonderful day.
You always deserve the best.
Anastacia,
I am so grateful to hear that you are asking good questions. There are many people who would just be discouraged and give up when they face the kind of situation you just described. I thank God that you are not letting that happen to you. Remember that YOU are GOD"S IDEA. You are where you are because of His desire to give you good things and your faithful effort to follow him and do well. He will lift you up and make you even stronger because of your continued faith. Thanks for the encouragement. NEVER GIVE UP!
