Have you ever felt like you lost your direction? We are collaborating with The Baton Pass as they kick off their Spring Event season called Illuminate: When Light Reveals. I happen to be one of their advisors and I truly love this team and what this organization is all about. If you haven’t heard about the Baton Pass before they exist to empower women to overcome through the use of story. So I am thrilled for us to hear another parable story from Ana who shares her own story of loss and God’s hand on her life.

In this heartfelt conversation, Ana shares her profound journey of loss, grief, and learning to heal after the death of her husband. She reflects on the challenges of single motherhood and how she found hope and support through her faith and community. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing God's presence in times of despair and the ongoing nature of healing. Her story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of love and faith.
