“No one expects the rug to be yanked out from underneath them; life-changing events usually donâ€™t announce themselves. While instinct and intuition can help provide some warning signs, they can do little to prepare you for the feeling of rootlessness that follows when fate flips your world upside down. Anger, confusion, sadness, and frustration are shaken up together inside you like a snow globe. It takes years for the emotional dust to settle as you do your best to see through the storm.”

It requires authentic communication, empathic listening, and wildly creative solutions.”

“Love was the bedrock of Jesus' life, the very reason He came to seek and save the lost.”
“...if reality is hard and flat and unjust, then it's better to adjust to what really is than to complain that it isn't what you wish. That was what made me lose faith..... But having lost it, soon I doubted my lack of faith. There were niggling hints of meaning everywhere.”
