DETERMINED TO BELIEVE AGAIN

Blindsided by tragedy, I was uncertain how to find my way through my pain back to a place of sanity.

Tragedy had me distracted and, before I knew it, I had lost my way.  My soul was fragmented. I knew I needed help for the journey ahead.

At the time, I was unaware of any resource that could speak to me about despair from an insider’s perspective. I was desperate to hear from someone whose story didn’t have a happy ending. I needed someone who could relate to my situation and was not afraid to talk about every aspect of his or her experience. I needed to know how to overcome fear, torment and faltering faith while dealing with the pressure to pretend all was well...

I knew it was God’s perfect will that I survive the tragedy and the aftershocks and go on to live a purposeful life.  Knowing His will was the easy part. Experiencing His will would be the fight of my life. I was about to experience what it means to contend for my faith (Jude 1:3 KJV).
