Perfect Peace. That is the only way I can explain the past ten months. I never thought that I would be able to deal with the death of my mother, let alone stand in peace at her side as she passed. My trust has been in God and God alone through this time. When my... Continue Reading →
When I was twenty, I lost my father to cancer. I was distraught after his death because I had been praying for his healing.
