The glory of a godly marriage, being a minister's wife, caring for my beloved husband through his illness until he met the Lord, and knowing God as my ultimate source of comfort and security are treasures that have shaped this beautiful, though sometimes messy, journey that is my uniquely blessed life. At 50 years old, I began a new chapter with a second marriage—an exciting yet sometimes bumpy journey, but one I wouldn't trade for all the riches in the world. These experiences—embracing covenant, letting go of the oneness that once was, and learning to trust and connect in marriage again—have ignited a passion in me to encourage women facing marriage, loneliness, or widowhood. Finding Jesus at the center of it all, and connecting with and praying for other women, has been the greatest gift of all.
