There’s Nothing Wrong With Being Different – by Susann Williams
Every time I find myself thinking, "This is the hardest thing I've ever done," the Lord will invariably allow something else to happen in my life.

Community Helped Me Heal – by Dr. Quantrilla Ard
Life has a way of surprising you. We were not trying to conceive the baby we lost. We already had two sweet boys and were considering the possibility of a third ("the tiebreaker") but had not planned to get pregnant any time soon.

When You Can’t Understand Why – by Rev. Staci Williams
One moment I was the one who was praying, and in the next month, I was the one who needed prayer! Friday, September 13, 2019, was a day I will never forget.

It is Well With My Soul – by Tina May
From as far back as I can remember, my brother Tyrone was the greatest thing ever and could do no wrong in my eyes.

Even Though He’s Gone, I Still Have to Live – by Fahtema Lewis
I have always been one to hold everything close to me, never wanting to show any weakness or cracks in the armor I had encased myself in. But anytime I can share about my brother, I do.

When He Died, My Anger Died With Him – by Markisha Greene
My brother Ron was 7 ½ years younger than me and was considered special from Day 1. He was named after my mother’s brother, who had been murdered a year earlier. He was very special to her, which made our relationship…complicated. I felt like I didn’t exist when my brother was around. At times, I… Continue reading When He Died, My Anger Died With Him – by Markisha Greene
