"
We all tell stories about what we’ve endured
as a way to celebrate our triumph over adversity, and
to encourage each other to believe in better days.
We know, too, that sharing our delight in the wonderful
things that happen to us lifts our own hearts and inspires
others. The stories you will read in this book have
been contributed by men and women from all over the
world. I share them for the purpose of connecting us
all to the truth that every day we experience grace
and miracles. We need only to look closely and listen
carefully to see the hand of God and hear the voice
of God in our lives. When we learn to tune into the
presence of God, our hearts are open and our lives
are full of joy." Lorna Owens
Imagine, as you read, that you are joining with the
many thousands of others who are reading this book
as well. Know that we are gathered together in this
shared experience of passing on stories in our own
voice. I hope this book will encourage you to share
your stories of grace and miracles in ever-widening
circles, and that perhaps you will pass along the stories
in this book to support someone else.

Chapter 6: Making the Connection
Title: Out of Darkness, Must Shine Light
Here to another day in hell and I wonder why God dealt me this hand. It almost
like I was meant to fail. But not me, I am going to keep fighting. Yeah, that’s
what I’ll do keep fighting.
It started roughly twenty-one years ago, the day my life would change forever.
It was a beautiful day in November, my siblings and I played out in the yard
with our big wheels like we always did on a day like this. As the sun begin to
set, my mother prepared us for bed, as she did each and every night. However,
this night will be the last night of her life. The last time my mother would
every have a chance to be able to kiss her kids goodnight. That night I would
lose my mother to a domestic rage.
