“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Eph 6:12  The gap between seen and unseen, between natural and spirit, is narrowing. Never has the ongoing battle between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light been more apparent. All you have to do is look at the chaos, evil and confusion going on in our world today.

She reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes and that the God of the Universe who created everything, even galaxies unknown, loves and cares about you! If you are living in a fragile place after loss, pain, or grief and excitement in life and fullness of purpose is too hard to imagine, I know you will find hope in this interview! You can find out more about Cindy on social media and her website brinkersimmons.com.  All net proceeds from the sale of her Amazon best-selling book, Restored: Reconnecting Life’s Broken Pieces, will be donated to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer (WOKC) and the Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation. Cindy is the author of the popular book, LITTLE MO’s LEGACY: A Mother’s Lessons, A Daughter’s Story. The book chronicles the lessons her late mother taught her in life and in death. The Lord uses trials to do many things, but many blessings are only received from the residue of pain.  When we have trials we focus on the difficult, but sometimes the path of suffering is the only way to attain them. So many things happen through trials.

Your story matters. Every day, God performs miracles around us, even in the most unexpected lives. Imagine a child who endured the unimaginable—molestation, disbelief, and rejection. Picture a pregnant teenager, rejected by her family and church, and almost murdered by someone she should have been able to trust. If you've ever felt alone, questioning, "Does God see me? Does He hear me?"—there is hope. Jenny is joined by friends Ty Roberts, Executive Director of Gennisi Charitable Birth Services, Inc., CEO/Founder of Miracle V. Birth Concierge, and Worship Coordinator at Overcoming Believers Church, alongside Deborah Spencer, Public Directions Manager at Overcoming Believers Church. Together, they share a powerful testimony of forgiveness, redemption, and purpose. Forgiveness is a journey, but God transforms our pain into blessings for others. When we align with His plan, He fulfills the desires of our hearts. This is the miraculous story of a young girl who dreamed of caring for babies and, through faith and perseverance, became a doula and the CEO of her dream!
