Hope Story: Biz

Biz

“It’s hard to believe that it has been 11 years since the traumatic end of my marriage. There were times in the past decade that I just didn’t think I’d make it, and that the weight of everything - the trauma, the bills, the stress, the pain, the betrayal - would crush me. 

But there have also been beautiful uplifting times, especially with my children. My sons and daughter have grown into the most amazing people I know. I was out to dinner  with them and their spouses recently, all of them thriving, and I couldn’t help but think back to when life was not so lovely. I could never have imagined such an amazing future, and I know that it was all God. 

There is really no other explanation for how my children and I made it through to the other side and lead the lives we do now. It has taken hard work, tears, a sense of humor, and lots and lots of prayers, but we did make it. I made it. There are still many days that leave me no choice but to rely on God, but I have seen the proof that I can.

 If I could go back and reassure my younger self in any way, I would show her a picture of my family now and say that life is a blessing despite the hard times, and that time really does heal if you look to The Healer.”
