God Talks in Grocery Stores
|
“How do you know God’s speaking to you, Mama?” she asks, fiddling fingers, looking down. “I’ve never heard Him talk to me.” And before I can begin my answer, her twin, the more confident, brash blurts out, “God talks to me all the time – I can hear His voice.” “Really?” I say half joking, half serious....

Write to Restore
|
Although I’ve told the story before, I’ve never really gone into detail about my day-to-day life as a bulimic.
