Livin’ Life in the Dark!


Book Description

I lived a majority of my life for myself and no one else. I watched my world crumble multiple times and was living my life in the dark. It was in my darkest moments that God found me. God saved me from myself and is the one that told me to speak of my story. Life has no meaning unless you have a relationship with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. This book shares my journey to them when I was not seeking them.
