The Secret Place

It was as though I had been raised in a family of royalty. I thought horror stories were only written in books, they were not about real people. My world was a wonderful, happly place. After being raised in a small river town, it sounded exciting to take a congregation in a big city! After all, this was what we were supposed to do. Little did I realize the calamity that was ahead. Then once I was in the fog of heartbreak, it was like being in a burning house with no way of escape. But God had a plan. Quoting from the Holy Bible, "Out of the bitter came forth sweet." My survival was by staying hid "In the Secret Place."
