Tiffany Smiley - Story By Faith

   Tiffany and Scotty survived a horrific experience when Scotty became brutally injured from a suicide car-bombing. Almost losing his life, Scotty was hospitalized from brain and body injuries. The shrapnel that pierced his body ultimately took his eyes and this began his life as a blind person.   During this time, Tiffany talks about a pivotal moment where she refused to sign Scotty's retirement papers. Understanding and hearing God in a hope that was completely unseen by everyone else around her, Tiffany told the commanding officers that if Scotty were to retire, he would be the one to sign those papers, not her. Where the rest of the world said a blind man could not do much, instead, Scotty became the first blind active duty officer to serve his country.   When talking about navigating the 'blind- lifestyle', Tiffany's perspective on normal brings a fresh idea on focusing on what we can do, rather than what we can't do. The focus on our uniqueness makes 'normal' so much more different. Being content in our differences is what makes us thrive and where we can really use our individual talents, gifts, and circumstances to share hope with others.   With unwavering hope, and the confidence of God's promises, Tiffany shares how she has boldly navigated through life with a husband who has lost his sight. This boldness has transformed into a ministry that Tiffany pioneers called Story by Faith.   You'll want to learn more about the Story by Faith conference and the gift that Tiffany has in encouraging and empowering women by allowing them to share their stories.
