an's passage from being trapped in an abusive marriage to living in freedom. Many suffer at the hand of an abuser, most never get out. When God showed her the way, she took the leap of faith to step out of the boat she was in...onto the crashing waves where Jesus held her hand the entire way. She describes herself as a broken and flawed mess and the process of emerging from mess to a healed soul. Darkness dappled with grace, and the raindrops of laughter that sprinkled her life during these tumultuous years, guides the audience toward hope in a confusing and overwhelming world. She presents herself to the Almighty just as she is and encourages others to do the same. Human relationships take time and energy just as developing a strong and mature relationship with God takes time and energy.
