if you have not read this story, you need to. i am amazed by this woman's story and GOD's writing and orchestrating every single part of it and His faithfulness- and her recognition that it is GOD's story- He is the author of her life. : http://www.herpassionministries.com/story/.
one of her references from the Word comes from isaiah 61 which says-
"The spirit of GOD the Master is on me because GOD anointed me. He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, announce freedom to all captives, pardon all prisoners. God sent me to announce the year of his grace- a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies- and to comfort all who mourn...to care for the needs of all who mourn in ZION, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit...your inheritance in the land will be doubled and your joy go on forever...
I will sing for joy in GOD, explode in praise from deep in my soul! HE dressed me up in a suit of salvation, He outfitted me in a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom who puts on a tuxedo and a bride a jeweled tiara. for as the earth bursts with spring wildflowers, and as a garden cascades with blossoms, so the Master, GOD, brings righteousness into full bloom and puts praise on display before the nations."
these verses are encouraging to me today- her story and ministry is encouraging to me. in the midst of pain and suffering, God promises beauty for ashes.
last thing- i love what she says in her story on her website "I have learned that God places us exactly where He wants us, to grow us and to share Him with the world!"
