In this, my autobiographical journey, I will convey much of the violence and abuse from a childhood that almost destroyed me. I will also relay many of my own foolish mistakes stemming from a misaligned, worldly mindset, further twisted by shame, regret, and hate. Nevertheless, I will also attempt to describe God's goodness through it all. Seen and unseen. In spite of a multitude of attempts by all those ascribed by Satan who would take me down, and my own trove of unwise decisions, I survived. God is good, and He saved a wretch like me for His ultimate plan and for His glory.
