Life is Hard; very, very hard. If you can use anything to get through it, anything at all, what would you try? Food? Exercise? Drugs? Alcohol? People/Relationships? Would you try God? Maybe you tried some of these. Maybe you've tried all of them as I have. What I want you to understand-what I've learned so clearly-is that no matter how difficult life becomes, no matter how heavy the burdens we carry, there is always hope. Even when it seems as though everything is slipping from our grasp, hope remains, because it is a gift from God Himself.

The little hole in your heart that you tried to fill with every and anything else, can only be filled by Him, because He is the one who put that hole there so that one day you would seek Him to fill it. In my own pursuit of finding Him, I've gathered stories from my journey-lessons I've learned through God's guidance, moments when His love and wisdom have shaped me. These lessons, which I call Kisses from God, have been my touchstones of hope and transformation. It is my prayer that, as you read these stories, they inspire and encourage you on your own journey
