Story #57

The Lord truly gives beauty for ashes. That’s exactly what He’s given me. Through His grace and mercy I am an overcomer filled with joy and hope. I am a woman being restored. Here is my story.
Not long ago my life was in ashes. Torn and broken by a marriage ravaged by violence. Fear and confusion held me. The counsel my previous church offered led me nowhere but worse off and the world just told me I was a victim. In the face of abandonment, I believed in something better. I put my faith completely in God. I made a bold move- to Tulsa and a new life at COTM.
Today I am a strong, spirit-filled solo mom raising 5 beautiful children for the glory of God. I’m completing my education and establishing myself in the community. I’m taking God at His Word day-by-day as I put one foot in front of the other. These days I walk in dignity and strength without fear.
Next April, I graduate with my BSN at ORU. When I do, I know I’ve graduated from so much more!
