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.
