Living in the possibilities and pursuing purpose.
People lose themselves to addiction, and in the process, it can bring out the worst in them. It escalates the darkest parts of their being. In its wake, it leaves families broken, children abandoned, and an abyss of emotions and feelings that seem to have no end. The weight of this issue is heavy, and we need each other's support to bear it.
The author reflects on the pain of having a loved one lost to addiction, contrasting feelings of disappointment with compassion. Despite the struggle of setting boundaries, love endures. The message emphasizes hope for recovery and the enduring bond between parent and child, regardless of the challenges posed by addiction.
Today is October 12. Ten months ago, my daughter stopped all contact. I've been lost since.
Considering addiction steals and destroys someone lost in the cycle, we forget how the tentacles of destruction reach family and friends. Evil is never satisfied with one. It thirsts for the souls of many. To those attached to addiction, consider this a reminder that you are not alone.
When I came to the end of myself, I stopped holding on to hope in you and transferred it back to hope in Him.
Are you willing to surrender your desires and sinful nature for the glory of the Lord? Are we striving to live more righteous lives? Lives that proclaim what we need over what we want?
Where was the good in abuse for over a decade as a child? Where was the good in watching my fiancée collapse from a cerebral hematoma and wake up out of a coma weeks later as though he was seven years old again? What was good about having bipolar disorder? I could keep going, but you get what I am saying. What was good about any of it? NOTHING!

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
Grace for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.
