She didn’t begin to see His grace until she started to hear the gospel in a different way in college and through meeting her now husband, Garrett. She started to let go of relying on her own strength and her moral perfectionism when health issues disrupted her ability to perform. She finishes by sharing her hard decision of letting go of a job as it went against her image of being a perfectionist. She trusted God and walked with Him.
