Introduction After being diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Nephritis and a 3 month hospital stay, I left a different person. I struggled through 2.5 years of Chemotherapy treatments and desired for the Lord to show me beauty instead of pain. Jesus led me into His presence as a Loving Father. Hard moments in life forced me to determine if I was going to believe God or be angry and run. Those hard times are the reasons I have a deep relationship with Jesus. It’s such a hard thing to understand, but those seasons were so precious because I felt the Lord’s presence Mightily. We can’t just believe God is good when we get our way; He is good in ALL circumstances. I have gone through so much pain in the last 10 years, and every moment has shaped my life for His purpose. I am a proud wife and mother of one MIRACULOUS little girl who was born at 23 weeks and 5 days gestation weighing just 1 lb 2 oz and an amazing miracle son who is such a gift and 6 other kids in heaven. My heart deeply longs for Truth and as I seek His face daily, my blog is one way that I desire to praise Him.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

If there was a statue made in my honor, I would want a person with butterfly wings. Kind of like my photo on my header with Inspired by Grace. It would commemorate that Jesus gives new beginnings and offers hope to everyone who comes to Him. It would stand for Hope and that you should never give up and look to God for help.
