hope
It’s an amazing book, that brings back hope to those who are in the darkness. They will never know how the journey was, but they will always see the sailor. This book has helped me to rise above bad habits, and come to an understanding that with these two hands God has gave me. I can & will do much more beautiful things in life, than the ones I have already done. God bless the lost soul, that’s absorbing everything because of in need. God loves you and will seek you, one way or another.
