One of my reasons for writing this book is for me to receive healing. My vision is that people all over the world will read it and it would bring hope to someone. My desired outcome through these pages is for hearts to be touched. Maybe others could understand that after all the choices and the pain, Jesus loves them unconditionally. As I began to reach out for help to change my life, I saw life through a different lens. Because of my new view, some of the layers of pain began to fall away, and some of the walls of trust began to come down slowly. The biggest struggle has always been me desiring something more. There was a void that was missing from the inside of me-love. I had never received love the way God had intended it and because of that, I had nothing to measure love by. | How Did I Get Here? by Annette Smiley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
