I remember that run. I had no words or anything to make what you were going through any better. I wanted you to have at least a few minutes of peace, let go of worry, to have a moment just for you. I'm so glad you were able to find some peace on the run. You are so strong and brave, you all are.

Free will is God’s gift

I will rejoice and be glad

Choice is our power

Powerful story Julia. And even more potent because it is true. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps if we remembered free-will is a sacred gift, we would value our ability to choose especially since choice creates profound consequences, both seen and unseen.
