A 9/11 Widow’s Journey – With Jennifer Sands

Jennifer’s nest become tragically empty on 9/11 when she lost her husband, best friend, scuba diving partner and love of her life.

Jim died as the World Trade Center Towers fell.

For a long time after 9/11, Jennifer looked at God through the eyes of anger and contempt.

Through a series of events, her anger was downgraded to disappointment, then it changed to curiosity.

Eventually Jennifer looked at God thru the eyes of acceptance and trust.

Now, she shares of her love and trust in Him.

She gazes at Him through the eyes of reverence, love, adoration and gratitude.

Today, Jennifer encourages widows and others.

She is thankful for God, who brought her blessings from brokenness.

When she made a commemorative scuba dive in Jim’s honor, and underwater memorial dive, the Holy Spirit spoke to her and she gave her life to Christ.

Jennifer often shares Gen. 50:20.

What Joseph said to his Israelite brothers, she now says to the 9/11 terrorists:

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, in order to bring about His present result, the saving of many lives.”

Tune in and be encouraged!
