CONVERSATIONS WITH EMILY: Life In Crisis Series

CONVERSATIONS with EMILY

Life in Crisis

“I’ve been walking this path alone all of my life. It is just me and God wrestling this one out. I’m just tired. Defeated. Losing hope.” Those were her words, and I took them to heart.

Emily and my conversations are verbatim. God helped forge a friendship between us that would carry us through a year’s worth of private messaging. Their richness comes from the honesty and vulnerability of both of us with our own stories. Insights here make one think. What would you say? Do? How would you respond? Help? Life happens. You jump in there and do your best. Sometimes, it helps, as it did in this exchange.
