When you lose so much in a season, all there is left to do is find you. This tells the story of the journey of becoming the healed person you were meant to be and to learn to love from healing and not from hurt. When your best friend is sick, your confidant is too busy, your career and achievements in jeopardy, your health in question, and your husband of more than twenty years says "this is the end of us. I don't love you and I don't think I ever did", what do you do in this season? You serve coffee.
