For thirty-seven years, Kristin Gedstad lived with a secret: she had extraordinary encounters with the hand of God in the midst of her ordinary life.

It began with the impossible, her failing eyesight miraculously restored. From that moment on, blessings and spiritual experiences continued to arrive quietly, tucked into the fabric of everyday life. Over thirty-seven years, she felt God's presence thirteen more times, so profoundly that her life was quietly transformed.

Yet for decades she kept silent. As a mental health counselor for over forty years, Kristin feared the world would think her foolish, or worse, unwell. Instead, she carried these miracles in her heart, confiding only in her children while continuing to guide others through their own struggles.

Now, for the first time, she shares her journey of faith, vulnerability, and courage. Benedictions Given to an Ordinary Woman is the testimony of a life lived at the intersection of the extraordinary and the everyday. It is the story of a woman who learned to trust the unseen, and who now dares to invite you into the mystery, wonder, and quiet strength that shaped her soul.
