We do not choose our trauma. But what becomes of us is our choice: eternal guilt or our grand victory. Truly great is the one who conquers their brokenness, even if they have to break themselves to do it. The light at the end of the tunnel exists-even across the ocean.
About me:
Four months ago I fell into a coma and then I spent two months in the hospital.
After returning home, people told me, 'you've changed.' They were right. I no longer desired to continue old battles. I no longer feared anything.
In that coma I experienced a flowing river of the purist silver that led to a portal.
There is nothing to fear, nothing at all.
