By the great mercies of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit, this is the story of my life--a terrifying yet wonderful life. I just wanted to share it with people so that they would know life is unpredictable, but it is possible to make it through no matter what comes at you. Each day I learn to trust in Jesus more and more, knowing life has many ups and downs. And someday, the Son will shine forever.

"You Lord are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him" Samuel 22:29-31 (NIV).
