Every now and then comes a time in our lives when we all need a touch of courage. Every single day we each long for something to give us joy and increase our strength. We all want to feel that there are lessons to be learned, and yet more than that, we hope we can heal from all the pain that has tried to break us down. There are days when it seems that we cannot make it through and wonder what we are here for and why God allows certain things to happen over which we have no control. In this book, you will find lessons that will both give you courage and heal your broken heart. There are inspirational messages and poems meant to encourage you and help you discover all that God would want you to be. We all make mistakes in life, but God gives us the right path to embrace the healing waters of courage that will make us forever strong and able to overcome all the odds that try to make or break us. As you read Living and Learning from the Healing Waters of Courage, it is my desire that you realize everything in life happens for a reason. Even when we do not always understand all of the reasons, we must trust that God is in control and will help us find the right solutions to the destined paths upon which we travel. I decided to share many of my life lessons with you in both a nonfiction and poetic way to illustrate the spiritual truths that have helped me find the courage to heal from my past and embrace happier, healthier times now and always. I hope the courageous chapters you are about to read encourage your hearts and souls in the most spiritual ways possible.
