WARRIOR IN THE MAKING shares the author's journey of hope during her colorful and wonderful life mixed with the bizarre, the traumatic, and the painful often leaving her feeling broken, damaged, worthless, and hopeless. Letting Jesus take the reins to help her overcome the damage brought on by abuse, addictions, family dysfunction, tragedies, injuries, illnesses, and bad decisions awakened her warrior spirit and took her faith to a new level that remarkably transformed both her mind and her life making her a new creation! She shares her unique perspective on how God was never far away and worked it all for her good, just as He promises He will do for those who love Him. She hopes sharing her story and insights brings readers hope and encouragement to endure, to face their dragons, and trust that the "God who sees them" does His best work with brokenness.
