There was time in my life when I was ... troubled******on every side... distressed ... perplexed ***...*** . in despair ; Persecuted ***...*** felt forsaken ***... cast down ,*** and yet wondered to my-self Why am I not destroyed? Roses Among Thorns is my message of hope. A message of how God kept me - a rose literally – flourishing in the midst of adversity. It is a story of refection, redemption and restoration. During most of my young adult life, I was a single mother of four babies. In the midst of it all I crawled, wept and fought my way through, and I didn't do it without Jesus holding my hand. From nearly committing suicide and walking away from my faith Jesus Kept me. This is my story and today it can be yours. This is my gift to you. A message of hope.
