Some days, I still remember the weight of family pain—the misunderstandings, the disappointments, the brokenness that once seemed impossible to overcome. Being part of a broken family and raising my child as a single mother has not been easy. There were moments I felt alone, overwhelmed, and unsure if healing was even possible.

But God’s grace has carried me through. I am living proof that what others intended for harm, God can turn for good. Genesis 50:20 reminds me of this truth:

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

I have been hurt, yes, but I have also been healed. His grace has restored my heart, given me strength, and transformed my wounds into wisdom and resilience. I’ve learned that forgiveness, patience, and trust in God’s purpose are not just ideas—they are lifelines. They remind me daily that brokenness does not have to define me or my child.

Through the struggles, I have discovered the power of God’s wonder. I am stronger, more compassionate, and more aware of His love in every moment of my life. The pain that once threatened to hold me back now serves as a testimony of His goodness and faithfulness. Every tear, every trial, every lonely night has been part of His plan to bring healing and hope.

Today, I write this not from a place of hurt, but from a place of healing. I am grateful for God’s grace, which has turned my story around. Broken families don’t have the final word. God does. And His wonders are alive in my life, in my child’s life, and in the way He continues to work for good through even the hardest chapters of our journey.
