Bloom with Grace
WELL, if you know anything about me, it's that when I don't write, I'm avoiding a process. I thought that maybe if I pretended I was over it, didn't care, then it wouldn't hurt.

I think I am finally clean
Life has a funny way of happening. It chooses its victims and its victors, and simply happens. In life’s toughest seasons, I have found that worship is the key to getting up and regaining strength.
