Some of you know my story.
Shame.
Loss.
Depression.
Worthlessness.

These are some of the words that haunted me on the darkest nights.
I heard the lie over and over again as a teen that life wasn’t worth living. That things would never be different. That nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Would. Ever. Get. Better.
I don’t know where [...]]]></description>

“Mom, I don’t feel good. I’m going to bed. Wake me up for dinner, please.”
That statement, I don’t feel good, was being said way too often in my house – every day after school.
When I went to sleep it was three in the afternoon, on Friday March 4, 2011. My mom [...]]]></description>

I suddenly stopped praying. I was trying so hard to keep it all together, when what [...]]]></description>

“At church they say we should always believe the Bible, but sometimes it seems like it&#8217;s contradicting itself. What&#8217;s up with that?” ~ Dave

The first time I saw my family’s new German Shepherd puppy, I was ecstatic. Zach was the epitome of cute with droopy ears, fuzzy black fur, a wagging tail, and best of all, his melted chocolate gaze that could steal the heart of even the coldest person.
