I wish I could hear you speak - I just know that it's a powerful message!<br /><br />You are right - your courage in sharing your story enables others to stand tall. That is at least one reason why God got you through it all.<br /><br />"He comforts us in all our troubles so we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."
