“We are survivors, the once-broken misfits whom God will use to help others, because we have walked by faith across the burning coals, tested through life’s fire, to the other side, smiling in the radiant light of the Savior’s love, our souls restored, our hearts’ desires changed, and our mind follows truth versus lies”
