Mandy Harvey
always dreamed of being a singer.
But at age eighteen she lost her hearing due to nerve degeneration from an illness, making her singing dream seem like an impossibility.
But she didn't give up...
... and now -- a decade after losing her hearing -- she is a nationally acclaimed recording artist.
Her hit song 'Try' is about not quitting... even though what you envisioned for your life will never come into view...
... and it's about persevering to find a new way and place to use your gifts.
What a great message!
Especially if failures or obstacles have got you down.
Your life my have turned south, one way or another...
... and your present existence may be far different than what you had hoped.
But it doesn't mean God is done with you.
And it doesn't mean there's no place for new dreams.
His story
for your life isn't over.
You just need to keep looking to Him... and stay out of your own way... and try.
