Becky’s Autobiography

Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure. ISAIAH 46:10 NASB

Dear one, if I could sit down with you at my kitchen table over a hot cup of coffee and open my heart, I would offer you all the nuggets of pure gold He has taught me. But my first words would be to tell you how sorry I am for your pain. No theological explanations. Then I would hug you, offer you something to eat and get out my Bible.

May I pretend that we are sitting across my table now and I’ll share with you some truths I have gleaned over the years? Lessons learned while passing through the furnace of affliction are not soon forgotten; rather they become part of who we are. What I am offering are rock solid, Christ centered truths that infused me with strength to go on one more day in the face of near hopelessness. Truth to counteract the enemy’s lies. Truth that caused me to rise with renewed hope – such Truth that can enable you as well.

I have outlined 10 lessons God kneaded into my soul throughout my years of great difficulty. No – this is not an exhaustive list but rather highlights that I believe can, and will, encourage you as you walk through your rivers of difficulty and your furnace of affliction. May you come forth as gold.
