HOW I FOUND WITH I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR

By Ruth Ellen Conway
from Kimberly, ID

I have been in a relationship for 22 years, and thought that was and would always be my life. But things changed, and I realized that wasn't happiness. I have always tried to give pleasure and love to people, without receiving back at times. I have been asking and seeking why my life was the way it is, with heartache, pain, fear at times. Why was I put in this life? How was I to help or fix things?

You see, my husband is addicted to drugs, and I never could understand that I stayed with him until one day I had enough of that life. I wanted him to get help, and felt I let him down leaving that, and that I hurt him for not staying. I would want to talk to anyone to find the answer. I even thought of seeking counselor's help, or going to church for help.

Then one day while getting school supplies for my son he found a book that looked interesting... so I read a little and thought that would be good to read, but it cost too much for me right then. Then my son found it at the school library, and I loved it. Now I know what to do in my life.

I plan on sharing it with everyone!!!!!!
