COFFEE CHATS with Tina Kadolph Hello Beautiful Ladies, It is coffee chat time. My favorite time of the month. This month I thought I’d open a little window into my soul. My desire is to always share from my heart and to spur you closer to our Lord and Savior, who is wildly in love with you. “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37, NIV)
SHE’S A SURVIVOR Her light was something greater than herself, and she knew without a doubt that this flame would never be - could never be - extinguished, even when all circumstances fell into the depths of darkness. She had lived a darkness many others have never known nor could even understand, yet she pulled herself out of the darkness and became a bright light. She was proof that God's power lived inside her. This broken vessel that was barely holding on was drowning at times in her own disbelief. She was a beautiful example of courage colliding into the uncertainties of her own worth - a refreshing combination that the world needed more of – undeniably humble, yet with an overwhelming strength she did not see in herself. One day she recognized herself as an unfinished piece of art. She caught a glimpse of who God was creating her to be. So, with the power of Christ and her own determination, she set out to be the woman God called her to be. You see, she wasn't always like that. There were times she ran from God. She made mistakes. She wasn't always patient, and sometimes she got angry. There were moments the pain of her past would overtake her. She would hurt herself and she even tried to take her life. 78
