  Loss Of Loved One Overcoming Obstacles

  FROM TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH

  I grew up with a single mom and my three siblings. We weren’t rich, but thank God we never went hungry. My mom always told me, “Your siblings will be all you have left when I’m gone.” I was closest to my older brother when we were kids. We were stuck in the middle together. My dad was in and out of our lives after the divorce. It was always a struggle to communicate with him. We changed our phone numbers a lot, and eventually we exchanged a number of letters. I’ve enjoyed looking back on them over the years. In 2013,… Read More

  GOD REMEMBERED ME

  I used to think faith was for people who needed something to hold on to. I wasn’t against God. I just didn’t feel connected to Him. Life felt safer when I stayed in control, kept my expectations low, and handled everything myself. But everything changed the moment I decided I wanted a baby. The first time I got pregnant, I let myself hope in a way I never had before. I bought tiny socks, whispered dreams into the quiet of my room, and imagined names. For the first time in years, I believed something beautiful could finally be mine. And then, I… Read More

  SERVING OTHERS IN EVERY SEASON

  I’ve never thought of myself as someone who does anything extraordinary. I’m just a woman who tries, every day, to love people the way Jesus has loved me. To me, that looks like kindness, gentle words, and treating every person the same way I’d hope to be treated. More than anything, I want people to feel cared for when they’re around me — safe, seen, and a little more loved than before. My faith became especially real during one of the hardest seasons of my life, when my dad was sick. Watching someone you love suffer through cancer changes you. In the… Read More

  HELD THROUGH THE HEARTBREAK

  I grew up as a church girl. I knew God, but if I’m honest, we didn’t really have a relationship. I went to church with my kids, but my husband never came with us, and that created tension in our marriage. A year before everything unraveled, I felt God nudging me to get more involved at church, even though I didn’t really understand why. Looking back, I can see He was preparing me for what I didn’t yet know was coming. When my husband confessed to multiple indiscretions, something happened that surprised even me: spiritually, I felt peace. Not because the… Read More

  FINDING GRACE IN GRIEF

  The week of Thanksgiving is meant to be joyous. It’s a celebratory, anticipatory week that culminates in a big family gathering, filled with gratitude and nostalgia. On November 22, 2022, that’s exactly what I was anticipating. Then, I got a phone call that changed my life forever. It was my parents. They called to tell me that my older brother, Jason, had been in a helicopter crash off I-77 in Charlotte, NC. As a television meteorologist, Jason was in the air that morning learning the station’s new camera system. It was supposed to be a routine trip, but it turned into… Read More

  EMBRACING GOD’S COMFORT

  At the end of a busy day in my 34^th week of pregnancy, I realized I hadn’t felt my baby move. A hospital ultrasound confirmed the terrible truth: my baby girl had died. I wasn’t in the habit of praying. I did believe Jesus was my savior and had accepted Christ into my life at the age of 8. But by the time I left for college, and even after I got married and had my son, church was just a weekly ritual. Even though I believed, I just didn’t feel prayer or a relationship with God was necessary. I was… Read More
