It's all Jesus! He is with us no matter what is thrown our way: tragedy, trauma, hardships. I love to share how we can be His disciples despite difficulties." The Lord has given me a rich and varied testimony in which to bring Him glory. I have shared aspects of this testimony, based on the audience, at faith-based Christian retreats and conferences, youth events, to congregations as a guest speaker, to pastors' wives, and all over the world through my blog.
Some topics the Lord has blessed me to share, in a biblical, God-honoring and glorifying way, are the following: > God's Presence, Power and Provision in Trauma > Living a Life that Points People to Christ > King Jesus: Conquering Fear, Building Faith > Discipleship Despite Difficulties > Losing parents to cancer > Parenting special needs children (especially children/youth/young adults with autism) > Domestic violence > Second marriages > Blended families Homeschooling topics: > Special Needs > Autism > Teaching the Christian Faith to Children with Special Needs > Homeschooling a Singleton > Homeschooling a Student with Autism > Building Schedules for Autistic Students > Autism and Adult Children > Homeschooling After Trauma > Battling the Overwhelm and more! I would share the testimony God has given me, to bless you and to share what He has done.
