It popped up as one of those sponsored posts from a well-known writer. We had like “friends”, and she had a big following… And I had forgotten… Each of us are broken, just in different measures. She had wrestled with suffering too, like most do. But then, I read the conclusion of this ex-missionary,”God doesn’t want […]
When Your A Woman At The Well – Four Lessons
