I'm going through this right now... Have been for a while. What I thought was a dark cloud was the good Lord bringing me to be with my family esp my parents in their twilight years. And I'm learning to hear my inner voice again. I've always trusted God to carry me, but I wasn't always listening and letting love in. I love this short film/party theme!
