Dissipation
Transformation did not feel dramatic. It felt like a thousand small decisions repeated over time. A prayer when he would have once numbed himself. The truth spoken when hiding would have been easier. A moment of surrender where pride used to live. The choir singing 'Emmanuel' at two different churches on the same Sunday. The storm is losing strength — not because he became stronger than his struggles, but because God's voice became greater than them.

"God was never absent. He was there through all of it — patient, merciful, steady, carrying me through seasons where I could barely carry myself."
