Dry Bones
It’s time to live y’all. This is one of my favorite songs but it didn’t affect me the way it does until a friend sent it to me one morning last week. It has been a hard emotional week and I was discouraged about my brain . . . long story . . . nonetheless…

The Right Foot –
See this Marine with the flag over his face? The flag draped in front of him as soon as he took his first step. But he never wavered. He didn’t flinch. How do I know? Because I have pictures of every step he made. Know why he didn’t flinch? Because he trusted the people next…

Reminded of Hope –
God whispered in my ear in the early years of recovery that He would use my pain for the good of helping others. He has continued to do that, even in times of trials. The timing of this release wasn’t an accident as I’m walking through my own storm right now. I needed to HEAR…
