I had no hope. I was lost. I remember going to your house, sitting in your backyard with you, crying, sobbing, you know, what am I going to do? How am I going to fix this? Never blaming anybody else because you can't. It was all me. And I had to start realizing, where did I go wrong? I'm the one that chose to stop fighting. I'm the one that chose to make myself the victim. I'm the one that chose to separate myself from God in those actions. It took a very, very long time to gain perspective again. The entire time I'm going through all this, God was putting angels in my path, wasn't recognizing it. It was just the next person. This is how life's supposed to happen. Listen, here's a lifeline to cover you for X amount of time. I was almost bothered by the little bit of help I was getting because I shouldn't be in that position. I shouldn't have to depend on anybody else or anyone else.
