Excerpt from Living the Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"When my journey began, fear, anxiety, and loneliness consumed me, but I soon found hope, strength, and nourishment from the wells of experience that were dug by those who had gone before me.<\/p>\n

\"Often, the things we do for others will impact us in ways we never expect. My valley of weeping became a place of joy as I dug wells to encourage and nourish others.\"<\/p>\n
