I am exceedingly and abundantly blessed. I have a Savior who loves me, an amazing husband who adores and serves our family, three incredible children, a beautiful home, wonderful friends and family and a fulfilling career.

By the grace of God, I have been blessed with an incredible career over the past 30-plus years—far beyond anything I could have ever imagined, especially given my humble and challenging beginnings.

This operation had me shaking and repeatedly crying out, “Be strong and courageous”....

Over the last few weeks, I’ve made a mental note of this year’s “Boast in the Lord” initiative. Pastor James has been encouraging the congregation to submit our entries, and though I’ve wanted to, I couldn’t land on what to share.

I have been struggling for four years. I dreamed of being a teacher since I was five years old. Well into my forties, God miraculously orchestrated a chain of events that opened doors for me to receive my teaching certification and to have my own classroom. ...

I want to start by saying that what I am about to share with you is not something that I think is unique to me or more significant than anything experienced in the lives of those of you who are a reading this. We live in a broken world, and at some point, in every life, the truth of that reality is made painfully known to each of us....
