The Long Road Back

Being brought up by loving parents in a Christian home didn't prepare Jenna for what the world would teach her. A naturally, optimistic, and happy girl would soon learn the shock of cruelty and abuse, the pain of a broken heart, and the strength that it took to rebuild a broken life. More importantly, she would learn the importance of seeking God's will, listening for His voice, and accepting His forgiveness. Mistakes seemed to be a regular occurrence in her life and with each, she learned more about the Grace and Mercy of God and the faithfulness of his love. Robbed of her innocence, confidence, and self-esteem and faced with the reality that life was almost never ideal, Jenna sought to accept reality without becoming hard or cynical. Seeking refuge in the arms of God and the shelter of her parents gave Jenna the place to reflect and grow as she healed and gained strength to begin again.
