How to Choose Faith Over Fear When Life Falls Apart
Questions raced through my mind. What should I do now? Is this really my new normal? How am I supposed to live like this? When the doctor said it was a chronic condition, did he really mean it would never go away? I felt scared. Angry. Worried. Anxious. Confused.

Just like the water buffalo, we can surround our friends and loved ones…
