"At the end of the day, it is you that allow your trust to be broken a second time. Don't break your heart by giving trust away easily to those who have habitually broken it. Trust is earned, not given. It's earned through actions, not words."~ Unknown.

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there.

I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime...
