Mine is a story of going from ashes to beauty (Isaiah 61:3), but I’m fully aware that the beauty God has brought and is bringing is not complete yet. Knowing God and the incredible indescribable gift He gave me through His Son is the beauty in me, not what my finite mind thinks would make me happy or what others say is best for me. I surrendered my life to Christ at a young age, but through my brokenness, He has become real to me. My first husband was killed in a car accident when I was pregnant with our first child at 27. I remarried two years later, and God blessed us with three more blessings. Today those little blessings are 19, 22, 25, and 28. A few years after my husband died, I lost my only sister to a battle with breast cancer. I mistakenly believed that I had been broken enough with the first blow. In my brokenness, God has blessed my husband and me to minister in Utah, to those of a different faith, to the pastors and their wives, and to the many beautiful women God has put in my life.
