Not long after I turned 40, my health started going downhill. I experienced loss of appetite, sleeplessness, weight loss, and irrational thinking. My marriage was in trouble, and our oldest child was heading to college. I had always been able to fix most things fairly easily, but this was different....
God’s love will carry me through my darkest days.
