When our dreams encounter pain, unbelief mocks us, our future, and our faith.

In 2009, she founded a hospice called Kimbilio where men, women, and children come either to heal or to be loved until they die. On an ordinary Friday afternoon in 2016, a three-pound baby boy, Ryan, wrapped in pink was brought to Kimbilio. He had been born prematurely earlier that week.

You might be dying and not even realize it. Just five days before Christmas 2013, I was driving down a dark, winding country road in Eastern North Carolina amid nothing but tobacco fields and farmland. Without warning, I slammed into the back of a dump truck, flipping my tiny Chevrolet S10 pickup truck on its side. As a result of my seatbelt's resistance (that saved my life), my colon was severed and I spent a total of 21 days in the hospital and had to endure a colostomy for three months.
