About this ebook
A collection of deeply personal thoughts, reflections and feelings sprinkled throughout the author’s journey toward healing, and wholeness. As she leans on her faith you will experience real time feelings of hopelessness and the questions raised when facing past trauma.
None of us choose to go through deep pain or struggle. And we all have times when peace seems so far from our reach. It’s this longing that creates our desire to sprint through our valleys, giving little thought to the lessons we may learn along the way.
If you are going through something, in the midst of overcoming, or reflecting on past lessons you will resonate with the courage it takes to keep moving forward, and the brightness of God’s grace and mercy during our darkest moments.
