Hopelessly Hopeful

By Linda Haynes

Have you ever lost a loved one? A child? Your parents? Or maybe you have known someone to lose someone in a tragic way and watched their suffering and wondered where God is in this or why would God allow this to happen? Have you ever thought you knew what love was, only to realize you can neither give it or receive it unconditionally because you don't know how to love yourself? Have you turned to other things in search of fulfilling that void we all have--sex, money, drugs, self-harm?I invite you to read my memoir. I was only a newborn when I was hit the first time, and from that time till I was six, I was given away twenty-three times to twenty-three different families. I was alone and hated myself for causing it all. I grew up into a young battered woman, who was still allowing the abuse and medicating with drugs. No matter what I achieved, I was never good enough for myself.This is my story of finding hope and keeping it no matter what came my way. This is a story of how I developed an intimate relationship with the one I call God and how He led me to redemption, a life free of drugs and a life filled with joy and peace and promise. It's a life I never have to be alone in again and a journey I want to share with the world.
