Who, if anyone, could protect me? Why would a loving God do all of this? As a child, some tragic deaths happened in our family; one of them being when my dad accidentally backed over my brother. As an adult, there were more losses and I made some wrong choices when trying to deal with them. The harder I tried to come up with solutions, the more frustrating my life became. I went to church religiously every Sunday, hoping one day I would figure out what I was missing. Despite my spiritual feeling of emptiness, God was there when I needed Him most. Finally, I came to understand God was reaching out to me to try to help me through those tough situations. When I awoke the morning of October 4th, the day after my realization that I was addicted to alcohol, I had a clear sensation of being cradled like a baby in the arms of my Heavenly Father.
Gathering Pieces is what I had to do for this book and it enabled me to eventually "walk in peace and not in pieces."
