In this episode of Encounters at the Well, I share my own testimony — the parts I once thought were too painful, too shameful, and too far gone for God to use.From childhood feelings of being unwanted, to a teenage pregnancy and abortion, to the trauma of an abusive relationship, my early story was marked by deep shame and loss. Later, my husband Jeff and I walked through the heartbreaking stillbirth of our son, Mark, at 38 weeks. For years, I believed God was punishing me.But that was not the truth.Jesus met me in the darkest places — not with condemnation, but with compassion. He showed me that nothing in my past could disqualify me from His love. Through Him, I found forgiveness, healing, and freedom as a beloved daughter of God.Today, I can look back and see how God didn’t waste a single part of my story. He used it to draw me to Himself and now allows me to encourage and comfort others walking through their own pain.If you have ever wondered whether you are too broken for God to redeem, this episode is for you. There is room at the well for your story too.💻 Website: www.hopeandhealinglifecoach.com 📖 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574602179682Website: www.hopeandhealinglifecoach.com Email: [email protected]:  www.hopeandhealinglifecoach.comEmail:  [email protected]
