"I wasn't fired. I was rescued.”

I'll never forget hearing my friend say these words. They marked a significant shift in her thinking. Where she had been stuck in shame and grief, she was emerging with newfound clarity. This kind of insight often happens in hindsight—a gift afforded by time and distance. My friend's new perspective didn't come quickly or easily. It was hard-won, a tooth-and-nail fight for faith. She was bloodied and bruised, but not broken."
