Finding Purpose in Personal Tragedy {The Atlanta Journal-Constitution}
I shook my head in disbelief as I read the news shared in the group text. A dear friend is fighting for her life at the hospital, and as I reached out to my close friends to ask for prayers, they shared about two other acquaintances from my previous church who are also in critical condition.
