Within a period of 5 years, I lost a marriage of 30 years and a job of 20 years. I’m here to tell you…don’t give up. The years that followed the losses have shaped me in a way nothing else could. God alone knew, being the sculptor of the heart. The length of our trials are time-stamped by the One who loves us more than we will ever humanly comprehend. Don’t give up. Miracles are coming…and God is overjoyed to give them to you.

In a season of wreckage and losses, I grew. I learned to love God in spite of it all. I learned to love God through it all. I learned to love God more because of it all.

I stand silently before the Lord, waiting for him to rescue me. For salvation comes from him alone. Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense, and fortress–why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come? Psalm 62:5-6
