When I spend time thinking back to those most challenging moments in my life – personally, professionally, and spiritually – I remember the pain, the challenge, the temptation. I remember vividly those moments when hope was all that was left. And now, with hindsight, I realize I had so much more than I imagined or…
I’ve been thinking back to those times in my life when hope and prayer were all that was left…when my situation made positive outcomes seem impossible.
