Hope and Beauty in the Pain

Book Cover & Preview Text
“My world was getting more and more confused and out of focus. I was having trouble thinking. It was difficult to answer simple questions. Just a couple of hours ago, I was picking out a birthday card and cake for my husband. I was setting priorities so I’d have time to be able to accomplish the many things that needed to be done before tomorrow’s BBQ. I was living a life I had known for almost 40 years. And now, nothing made sense. I was emotionally and mentally weak and totally incapable of getting through the next minute without someone on either side of me holding me up and telling me what to do next.
“[You] can do all things through [Me] who strengthens you”, Jesus whispered.
What? Where did that come from?
Did that come from inside my heart? Had that promise of God been set free when my heart finally finished breaking
apart? I couldn’t process that right now.”

About the Book
All of us have trials and tribulations, so all of us have our own stories that we can share. This one is mine and there is nothing spectacular about my life. I am just an average woman living the life that God has given to me. When I was faced with 2 life changing trials in that life, I automatically turned to Jesus because I was completely unable to carry the burden of them without hope. God is hope and only He could carry me through the pain and confusion that I had. I grew in my relationship with Him mainly because of these two separate heartbreaks and how Jesus proved Himself to me as the healer of all things. My story shares how the faithfulness of our Lord in meeting my needs of comfort, peace, hope and rest when I needed it most carried me through to face another day. It highlights how Jesus is trustworthy and kept the promise that He had given me to never leave my side in the midst of tribulation. It, also, shares the beautiful blessings that God provided for me during this difficult time. It is my hope that the readers of this book will be encouraged by the testimony I have to the greatness of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ, because like I said, we all have stories that we can share. Is Jesus in yours?
