Our story confirms what a wise person once said, “Adversity introduces us to ourselves.” If we were given pen and paper to write our story, things would have been very different from what you will see and read here. We would have carefully avoided the intense pain that was so necessary for our healing. We are so thankful for God’s faithfulness, goodness, and grace.

After 6 years of divorce, we were remarried.
