My prayer is that the following devotional thoughts will help you find encouragement, hope, and comfort. These are not meant to be elements used to teach, but are rather just my thoughts and feelings laid out before you in a very honest and transparent manner. These came about by me simply picking up my pen, writing and pouring out my heart. What you will see before you is a glimpse into my journey of grief, loss, and pain. You will realize very quickly that I am not a perfect person, nor a person with all the answers to life’s difficulties. My desire is that by reading my self-reflection it will encourage you to look deep within yourself, realize that you are not alone in your journey, and that you can seek God even when nothing seems to make sense in your life.
