\"\"<\/a>I don\u2019t often talk about myself in Reach UP<\/em>. There\u2019s a reason for that: Reach UP <\/em>was never about promoting me at all. I think we\u2019ve all had enough of people who talk and tweet about themselves every hour of the day!<\/p>\n

But this time, I\u2019m going to say. . . It has been a TOUGH year! I\u2019ve experienced the loss of finances, love, and work. I\u2019ve also experienced God\u2019s provision, His love and faithfulness, and His promises coming true.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Maybe like me, you’ve experienced times that seemed awfully dark. And maybe like me, you wondered, “Why REACH UP?\u201d Let me just stay in bed and cry….<\/p>\n

Here are a few things I learned this past year about why we encourage each other to \u201cReach UP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Always Reaching UP,
\nCrystal Wacker<\/p>\n

\n

God keeps your days stable and secure when you Reach UP.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Winners Reach UP when the going gets tough.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Worry wears us down, but cheerful words picks us up.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If Jesus sets you free, you are free through and through!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A lazy life is an empty life, but early to rise gets the job done.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Reaching UP helps you get good advice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Committed and consistent work pays off.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Reaching UP opens doors of opportunity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

When you Reach UP, you are on your way to a good choice.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
