My Story isn't Over; An Exclusive with Project Semicolon

My Story isn't Over; An Exclusive with Project Semicolon 2016-01-14T22:14:46-05:00 Steve Austin

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In my own experience, the cruelness of life tried to insert a period, but grace replaced it with a semicolon. A modern Selah. A pause. A moment to say, my story isn’t over. Light eventually came  rushing in, right when I least expected it.

The folks at Project Semicolon are doing their part to share the Light. Project Semicolon began in the spring of 2013, when founder Amy Bleuel wanted to honor her father whom she lost to suicide. Through the semicolon symbol many have found an emblem that captures the struggle of depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide, along with their will to keep fighting. Project Semicolon also represents a belief that even awful moments are not the end, but another beginning.
