Your writing style is really good, but that's really the smallest compliment. You are beautiful, truly beautiful, your spirit inspires me, and your thoughts and conclusions are always teaching me more about life. I am only 19 years old, and I feel like you can teach me to handle things better, if ever they occur to me in that or a similar way. Right now, yours is, along with Kelles, my favorite blog, and I'm sure you will stay right there.<br />Continue to be the amazing young woman you are!<br />A fan, from Germany.au fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713386753136009090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031485803458983078.post-71633782767340640872012-09-17T09:41:52.145-07:002012-09-17T09:41:52.145-07:00Gosh, you continue to amaze and inspire me!

He pulled you through a dark day/night. He helped you to survive and keep going, because you have a purpose. God has a purpose for your life and it's worth a fight. I'm so glad you overcame your fear and depression. Now, your light is shining in the darkness for others to see and grasp hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07663436860993915646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031485803458983078.post-25866654081445482592012-09-13T11:05:19.325-07:002012-09-13T11:05:19.325-07:00Powerful, gripping testimony!

It's a privilege isn't it, to know that you can now cope with anything life throws at you. I too have had a dark night of the soul, when I realized there was no one coming to rescue me, and it's like you move through to the other side of the darkness and it's amazing to find the strength and come out the other side.

Nobody can ever understand what life is truly like for you. However, you do such an excellent job of conveying your experiences. I am always sorry that you had this turn of events in your life but I am happy to watch you find the light and the hope in every situation. The blog is a giant move AND I think you should start thinking of a book... for real... your English profs at Miami & our Walnut teachers would be so proud of you :)Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326324981742865895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031485803458983078.post-3079125866196234442012-09-11T17:36:02.698-07:002012-09-11T17:36:02.698-07:00Sarah, I'm not sure what to say.

But, the other part of me wants to congratulate you for overcoming, I am in awe. You truly had a God moment. It's okay to question or doubt Him, it's really all part of the journey.
