Coram Deo

My life was lived in a shroud of darkness. I existed in a vacuum filled with sadness, despair, insecurity, and abuse. Long, horrible days gave way to miserable, lonely nights. No one wanted to be me—least of all me. I was on my own. In my world, there was no God.

My life was lived in a shroud of darkness. I existed in a vacuum filled with sadness, despair, insecurity, and abuse. Long, horrible days gave way to miserable, lonely nights. No one wanted to be me—least of all me. I was on my own. In my world, there was no God. But a string of life-changing events altered my stance. Some might call it blind ambition. Others might say supernatural phenomenon. I call it light proof that God never left me. Despite all the horrors I’d endured, He remained steadfastly by my side. This is my story: the story of how someone who has known an unfathomable amount of pain and heartache found their way to the other side and formed a deep connection with God.
