I am forever grateful that Jesus found me, saved me, and set me free; and during life’s ups and downs that same sovereignty and goodness has sustained me. Sovereignty is “the attribute by which He rules His entire creation.” It is the application of His other attributes of being all-knowing and all-powerful.

Without those personal experiences, I wouldn’t have a story, but the important part is not only the story but the testimonies of my many victories through Christ. Now I can boast of God as father, God as a healer, His sovereignty and goodness. I now live my life created from a statement that neurosurgeon Dr. Leaf said in her book, Who Switched Off My Brain. She said, “God has given each individual gift but our gifts aren’t a talent or a skill like singing, dancing, preaching, acting, and anything else that we do well, that is a manifestation of a gift.
