My name is Tarsha Bethea and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that pain doesn’t last-forever-but the lessons it teaches can last a lifetime. There were days when I questioned my purpose and wonder will life get better. I smiled while carrying burdens no one could see. I experienced disappointment, loss, fear and ask myself do I have anything left to give. But deep down inside i refuse to give up. Writing Stronger Than My Struggle became part of my healing journey. Every chapter reflects lessons I learned while fighting through difficult seasons. My hope is that as you read these pages you see a little of your story in mine. If you ever felt broken,overlooked discouraged, or ready to quit, you’re not alone. Today, I choose to live with purpose, hope and faith. I believe every scar tells a story of survival, every setback can become a setup for something greater, and every person has the ability to rise again. If my story encourages even one person to keep fighting, to believe again, or to take one more step forward, the sharing my heart has been worth it. Remember this your struggle is a chapter in you life-not the title of your story.
