Please don’t give up. Keep going. We all need you more than ever.

It is a hard thing to find what I need to say right now.

When I got up this morning, the first thing I did was I prayed. And then I cried. And then I called my mother.

I have only prayed extremely hard a few times in my life. The first time I did was when I was afraid my husband and I would be homeless. The second was when I was afraid my husband would die, frozen to death, when the car was wrecked after the largest blizzard in 2014 and he had been gone since around 9 in the morning. The third was when I was at my wit’s end with my own life and what was going on in it, and was desperate for something, anything to show that my thoughts and myself were not in vain.

This morning I prayed for myself, and for everyone else. I prayed for the world. I feel that this is a tall order, but I also have faith that my Heavenly Father loves me and all of his children. He has not and will never abandon us when we cling to our liberties and our freedom. We are promised, as his children, that we will be free from those that oppress us and would destroy us if they could.

We will not fall, we will not crumble, and we will not die or disappear.

I know it’s hard if you’re not religious, or don’t believe the same way I do, but even with that, I have faith that you are being watched over. Our cries are always heard, and even if the results or what we want isn’t given to us, we are still loved and loved very dearly.

Do not give up. Do not give in. I know it’s hard, and it’s scary, and this is a terrifying day for so many people, but do not give in. Do not give up. We need you. We need to fight this evil, and show that it will never win. It may be on top now, but it will. Never. Win.

Have faith, have courage, and be kind to everyone who needs it. We will need to love each other more then ever now. Don’t let them take that away from you. Love harder than you ever have before, and be there more for the people in your life no matter what. Volunteer at organizations, bring cookies to your neighbor, hug your brother or your sister harder than you usually do. We need to stay together, and if we do, we will never fall.

I love you all so much. Please don’t ever forget that. And I will fight as hard as I can to keep all that I love safe.
