With His Hand on My Shoulder

As I sit here, 3200 miles from what once was home, thinking over the events of the past 24 years, the story I am about to tell seems incredible. Even more incredible is the strength and courage that was born out of my heartbreak. All over the world today, millions of people are seeking the answer that I feel sure that I have found. I have written this story, hoping it might help others faced with a similar problem to remember the words "Come unto me, all ye that are heavily laden, and I will give you rest." We do not need to walk alone, nor do we need to struggle with a cross all through life. His hand on our shoulder will guide us and ease the weight of our cross. You will find God walking through the pages of my story, so real that you can almost feel His presence. And why not? He has been the unseen partner who shared all my problems, all my trials with me, the partner who has invested more in my life than I have.
