For years, I heard it too, but it never really resonated. I didn’t truly understand it until I experienced oneContinueContinue reading “When God Says “No””

“I Exist”: Finding Faith and Purpose in Suffering
I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, ‘I exist.’ In thousands of agonies—I exist.
