Broken and Made Whole

Introduction
To be honest, I was unaware that my life lacked a visionary dream. I was floating along in something that I assumed was a fairly normal, North American life. I was pleased to have and took pride in our family. I worked hard within our home every day, but I cannot say that I was inspired. This is the story of my being broken and then made whole.

The brokenness came with my pregnancy and the birth of our fourth son, Jack, who was born with cerebral palsy, as well as many other disabilities. This resulted in our child being unable to do much of anything. Caring for Jack and the challenges of life became monumental.

My life and emotions seemed to sink into a depressing resignation and fear of the future. In an outward sense, I knew that I projected and that others perceived me as a cheerful, friendly, and outgoing person. However, the bankruptcy of my inner thought life became increasingly clear to me in the midst of my personal crisis. Then while facing the worst and in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ’s truth, I was miraculously restored to a fruitful and joyful realignment of activity and desire in my life.

Today, I do everything with all my might because I can, and you can too! I am grateful for the basic abilities that were given to me. I have learned to be inspired in life, and I am loved by the Holy Spirit. His strength and excellence guide me through each day and lead me in a way that providentially sets up, connects, and adds to my next adventure and victory. My life is fulfilling.

I paraphrase Proverb 23:7, which teaches us, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” I want a life that is worth living, and I am sure you do too. Our lives can only manifest the condition and integrity of our own hearts. In His love, the Great Physician and our Father offers to take our wounded hearts, soften them, and transform them so that once again, we are able to be sensitive to God and each other.

As a mother of a disabled son, my goal and desire in writing this autobiographical journey are that it would bring revelation and save you, dear reader, years and tears. Because heavenly Father’s holy and imperishable seed dwells within us, His divine nature and eternal, immeasurable power become available to us. The anointing that we need to be made whole and overcome the difficulties and great challenges of life is found in the presence and power of our almighty God and faith in Christ Jesus.
Thus the will and purpose of God for each one of us becomes more manifested until we become a voice that is amplified in the earth. Are you aware that you are valuable and loved and have a wonderful destiny awaiting you? Please don’t miss it! As you learn about and experience the revelation of my journey, I pray that your own restoration will be accelerated.

Today, my husband and I have been blessed with seven beautiful grandchildren, who are the fruit of our oldest three sons. I am an ordained pastor. I have been leading a home church and overseeing weekly and monthly Christian women’s meetings for many years. Over the past twenty-five years, I have been trained by many anointed people and ministries. I am now involved at a leadership level with End-Time Handmaidens and Servants, which has been recently renamed Global Outpouring, as well as United In Christ. I am also a chairperson on the board of directors of Signet Christian School in Toronto, Canada.

My hope and prayer is that this written account of some of God’s strange but wonderful dealings with me, Jack, and several others will

> Encourage you to believe in your heavenly Father and that He desires your fellowship
> Help you to yield to your own Spirit-led journey through faith in Christ Jesus
> Lead you to embrace His love for you on a personal and intimate level

As you surrender to His love, all heaven will be working on your behalf to bring you out of your brokenness and into your purpose and destiny. His heart of love is the source of all true wholeness. He did this for me and wants to do the same for you. Enjoy the journey!
