A letter dated the same Thursday that her elderly praying neighbor had told her she felt something break in the spirit. Kimberly's story is funny, raw, and quietly profound. It's a story about what happens when the rules we build our faith around crumble — and we finally find the God who was waiting on the other side of them all along. 🔑 Key Takeaways Rules Are No Substi…
