Tim suffered from his dad's verbal and physical abuse before his dad eventually left them. But his mom was straightforward, generous, and took good care of Tim and his siblings. And he had another family and home in his local church. Tim's word of wisdom is from scripture: "Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." Matthew 6:33. He has come to fully trust and believe that if you put God first in your life, everything else is going to work out, and he has shown that in how he has lived his life.
