I am an ordinary woman with an extraordinary story to tell. Life happens in spite of our hopes, dreams, or plans. Good people experience bad things in life. However, as a child of God, we have the assurance in His promises that He will provide.  He provides Strength in every circumstance, Shelter in any storm, and Peace in the midst of any grief. Although the sorrow can be overwhelming and painful, Jesus said we "sorrow not as the world...without hope." Our hope is in Jesus Christ. He promises to restore us, heal our brokenness, and bring purpose once again to our life. His healing goes beyond our present pain and brings us hope for an unknown future.
