Our father was a man who demonstrated and sought to instill a strong work ethic in each of our lives.<...

I was brought up in a Christian home, the youngest of four children until I was 14 when my parents had another child. She was born with multiple medical issues and spent the first 17 months of her life in hospital. Physically weak, unable to speak or walk, she had a delightful personality. She died at 4 when my parents took their first weekend away after she came home. God spared them being present for that trauma.

While living in my car for six months (2009–2010), Jesus found me somewhere between the glove box and the rearview mirror. What seemed like the end was actually a divine beginning, as that old 1991 Toyota RAV4 became not only my best friend, but also a reminder that even the simplest provisions can become sacred companions when walking by faith, one night at a time.

In 2010, we lost her but not the vision God placed in her heart.
