The dark clouds and fierce wind seemed to be gaining momentum and width as I watched from my wheelchair in the parking lot. It was my first session with my counselor. Her smile was bright and welcoming as we went through the intake questions. Though my eyes couldn’t help but wander to the storm surrounding … Continue reading Healing through the Storm

As school ends for the year and summer break approaches, the anticipation for going on vacation or even weekend trips with family and friends grows exponentially. Even as an adult, I remember a few years ago counting down the days (and hours) until I left with a group of co-workers for the beach. Still, no … Continue reading In the Waiting- Prepare
In the Waiting- Purpose

“But God”

Though by His grace and mercy, … Continue reading “But God”
Secrets to Perseverance
Sweat trickled down my back as the white coated man stepped in. Thankful to mask my tears, I made out mere muffles before realizing it was again just me and my white-walled room. More problems. More pain. More questions. Though still no answers. Instead, doctors continue to pass me off like a hot potato. As … Continue reading Secrets to Perseverance
