When Chance needs help learning a healthier coping mechanism, I offer my assistance, but when he’s healed, will I be able to let him go like I'd promised?

Sasha There was one thing I hadn’t planned to do and that was to move back to the city where I grew up. Not that I had any bad memories. I had loving parents, but they thought it was long past time I started dating again. I was a single dad with a demanding job as a firefighter and EMT. I didn’t have time to look for someone. That’s what I thought until I started at my station and met someone who changed everything. Crash (Wes) My parents considered me the disappointment among their three children. I was nothing like them. So at eighteen, I left and cut off all contact. My job as a firefighter was the only thing that kept me going. I wasn’t an attractive man, and I’d accepted that. When the new guy, Sasha Price, started working with me, he destroyed my comfort zone. I didn’t like the way he made me feel. I wasn’t supposed to like him, but I just couldn’t keep him out of my head. (CW/TW: Brief mentions of infertility and past pregnancy loss.)

Stanton I wasn’t known for my impulse control. Raised as an only child and best friends with my mother, I hadn’t heard the word no often in my life. One night changed that completely. I met a stranger who worked for my family’s company. One kiss and the beautiful man was gone, and I hadn’t stopped until I found him. The real challenge came when he turned me down because of my age, but to me, that didn’t matter. He was my boy, and I’d prove it to him. Beckett After a divorce, I was just trying to learn to live single again. I’d emotionally broken down outside my boss’s home, and a gorgeous young man had kissed me. The shock of that had me running. I hadn’t expected to see him again, but he arrived at my office, and with such confidence, he’d claimed I was his. He couldn’t be serious. Yet the more time I spent with him, the attraction became all-consuming, and the reasons to say no were becoming unimportant. Could I open myself to the possibility or would it be safer to protect myself from another mistake?

Redemption comes to those who may refuse to accept the hand you are dealt as a child. I refused to accept and carry all the bad things that were in my life as child. It took about forty years of standing on the promises of God. Even though I was not perfect, he came through. My past speaks loudly to people that a person can overcome. This is my redemption story, and Jesus has stuck closer than any brother. I have learned that God will use a rejected piece of stone to help strengthen his kingdom. Today people that see me and know me would not have a clue as to what I came out of through Jesus Christ.
