The great unknown where feet may fail”

This song has been deeply rooted in my heart for five years now. This is just one part of the song that begs the question of faith. The author of the song moves on to expressing that it is the Holy Spirit that provides this ability to lead us to places our eyes cannot see. So it has been with my soul these past four and a half years since the death of my sister Hannah. This site and coming book titled “The Last Day of Regret,” is dedicated to her legacy she left with us and to my Mom and Step Dad whose world was shaken on November 15, 2013. We have walked together, we have wept together and this book will hopefully bring more purpose to the tragedy our family has experienced. Her story will change lives, so thank you for allowing me to tell it. As hard as it is to relive it, to have me ask you the painful questions of what happened and fill in the holes of my own memory; I know this masterpiece will bring healing to every human who inevitably says, “This pain is too much to carry!”
“When he heals us, it might seem slow to us, but if time is relative, his pace of healing is perfect.” – The Last Day of Regret
In Truth & Love,
