Nicole C Mullen, author of My Redeemer Lives: It’s Personal (A Story of Hope for Our Time)

I’ve gone through night seasons . . . I know what it’s like to be physically abused, I know what it’s like to be betrayed, I know what it’s like to have my heart broken, but I also know what it’s like that in the midst of those seasons to have Christ show up and Christ to not only sing over you but to sing through you. And so, I’m able to stand on platforms these days and testify as to what God has done in my life, not just what He’s done on stage, not just the accolades and the Grammy nominations and the Dove Awards and traveling around the world; not just that, but how He’s met me in my home, how He’s met me in my heart, and how He’s redeemed other areas of my life as well.

I asked God…”why me, why now?” I felt like He was punishing me and taking away my eyesight, and my husband couldn’t handle that trauma in our marriage, either, so he decided . . . to find somebody else, so there I was a mom by myself with my three little guys, unable to see, and I think a lot of times even today people feel that sense of hopelessness . . .

A friend invited me to a Christian Church . . . I heard God’s Word, but I heard it with my heart for the first time and everything changed . . . [God] was saying to seek Him first and that’s when I began to seek Him by listening to the Bible in audio; I was [hearing] each verse that just felt like He was speaking to me personally. So, what changed was not my eyesight; He didn’t give me my physical sight back, but He gave me the way to see Him with the eyes of my heart.
