From Tragedy to Triumph: A Story of Hope, Faith, and Miracles
Together, we can show the world that with God, all things are possible.
These are Transformative Journeys of Faith
Light in the dark
I knew a little girl who suffered deeply
Her broken family left her lost and weeping.
Beat down, bruised, and abused.
Told no one wanted her as she was misused
Rejection and depression became her friends
Drugs and alcohol were means to her end
Surviving thoughts go through her head
Trading herself for a meal and a bed
Anger and bitterness left her cold heart whole
While guilt and shame ate her very soul
Twice she tried to the escape the pain
But twice was revived for life to sustain
Searching for love she cries out His name
And in the darkness the light overcame
A new creation in Christ Jesus she chose
How her new life will flow only God knows
Her heart is able to forgive what has been done
Her body now a temple for God and all is won
A reflection of Christ shines beyond measures
A warrior for Christ is a calling she treasures
Holy Spirit is her counselor and guide
Oh how she longs to be His bride
Love grows in her as well as us
And she owes it all to JESUS

Pretty Enough
Run, run, run little girl
Until you curl over and hurl
Stepping on and stepping off
The scale is such a lying trough
Contaminated food for swine
Not for the belly but your mind
A wicked song sings in your ears
“You’re not pretty enough” they hear
Eat this or don’t eat that
No matter the cuts you’re still fat
It’s that time again, shots here and there
Painful ouches and bruises everywhere
You paint your face, you dress to impress
A date’s wandering eyes gets you depressed
Filtered selfies fill your camera with overloads
Facebook and Snapchat’s false likes explodes
More water, costly supplements, new gyms
All an illusion that really has no real ends
Look in that mirror once again and see
There’s a lying reflection that wants to flee
Perception and perspective are two partners
Both will help but not promised to garner
No matter the color or the length of your hair
Your natural beauty will still cause a stare
Bright eyes and a bright smile that shines
The perfect height and perfect size whines
Pay attention, look closer and look deeper
The One who created you made you a Keeper
