Ok God, I Know You Got Me: When Going Through the Storm, Trust God to Cease the Rain and Heal Your Pain

By C. S. Brooklin

This book is a recount of my educational experiences while working at a middle school. I had been appointed to design an educational trip for an end-of-the-year student incentive. As a result of handling the trip, I was not renewed for employment for the next school term and had to find other employment. I had to really trust God to get me through the process of having to leave my current position of seven years and find another job to care for my children and household expenses as a single parent. The level of depression that I experienced was so debilitating that I thought I would die. This is my story.
