I'm not sure I know of anyone that has had an easy life. Most of us have endured much more than we care to share. So it was no easy task for me to lay bare in this article a time in my life when it seemed all the adversities and challenges had coalesced into "my perfect storm." It was a very vulnerable point, and I am grateful God brought me through it. It gave me a better understanding of a future moment in time when it will be too late for many.
