For all the strong people in the world and we are many, I say sometimes we need  to be “propped up”. Think of all that we manage in our day-to-day lives  and being strong makes us take on the problems of others too. Sometimes I just need someone to hold my hand, and not me holding theirs. I love being in control or thinking I am in control of most everything, but sometimes I need to give up control and be the vulnerable person I am. I carry the weight of the world, but sometimes I would like to be carried. This is  why I have faith. I think this is where  all our strength comes from, way deep down in our faith.           I have been taught to believe in God my entire life… Christianity… and I  have faith in my heart  of  a higher power helping me through. I have always landed on my feet no matter the situation. I attribute it to my faith in a higher power. So when I say hold my hand , he does! When I say I give up, he doesn’t!  When I need to be carried, he does! Haven’t you always heard “we are strong in numbers”… well this is why, I never walk alone!  Stephen  Spurling
