Hope. Someone here needs hope. So … here we go.
Ten years ago today I drank my last rum & coke. Ten years ago tomorrow I woke up sicker than a dog, feeling confused about what had happened the night before, but certain I had angered a whole lot of people. I was humiliated by my actions, ... Read More
I’m having some trust issues lately. Ever been there?
It’s not my husband or my kids or my friends. It’s bigger than that. I’m having a hard time trusting God.
