- a
- cry.

- finally
- asked
- for
- help.
- I
- found
- myself
- in
- a
- store
- cupboard
- with
- a
- sack
- full
- of
- raisins,
- but
- even
- greater,
- I
- found
- myself
- in
- a
- store
- cupboard
- with
- Almighty
- God,
- the
- creator
- of
- the
- universe,
- my
- Father,
- my
- friend.
- I
- needed
- help.
- I
- needed
- rescue,
- and
- I
- needed
- saving;
- but
- really,
- I
- needed
- Him.
- He
- was
- the
- answer
- I
- was
- looking
- for
- as
- He
- changed
- my
- life
- forever.DISCOVERING

- at

- God.
- He
- was
- all
- I
- had
- left,
- but
- it
- didn't
- have
- to
- be
- this
- way.
- I
- had
- the
- option
- to
- call
- on
- Him
- from
- day
- one
- of
- my
- struggles,
- but
- independence,
- pride,
- and
- shame
- kept
- me
- silent.
- When
- I
- finally
- asked
- for
- help,
- it
- came,
- and
- came
- in
- a
- way
- I
- wasn't
- expecting.
- It
- came
- in
- companionship,
- love,
- forgiveness,
- grace,
- and
- mercy.
- I
- gained
- a
- best
- friend,
- a
- Saviour
- and
- a
- brand-new
- life
- as
- I
- laid
- down
- an
- eating
- disorder
- and
- took
- hold
- of
- the
- freedom
- God
- had
- granted
- me
- as
- His
- daughter.
- He
- rescued
- me
- with
- raisins,
- built
- me
- with
- His
- Word
- and
- repaired
- my
- heart
- through
- His
- resurrection.
- He
- can
- help
- you
- too!

- He
- needs
- is
- your
- surrender
- and

- your
- cry
- to
- Him
- today.

- Is
- Not
- Just
- A
- Handful

- Raisins.

- hope.

- first
- hope.
