"Finding peace in losing control"
Jessica Carpenetti | March 3, 2021
I have very strong memories attached to songs.
One of these memories I won’t ever forget was in the spring of 2018. I was driving over the bridge on Highway 20 towards Anacortes, where I had been living with a boyfriend for about 4 years. I liked this town, I liked our life, and I knew that I really loved him.

"God Can Use It All"
Vickie Laures | July 2, 2020
As I looked toward my living room, beams of light shone down to the middle of the room. And it was at that place I dropped to my knees, confessed my sins, and gave my life completely to God to be used for His glory from that day on.

"Emily's Story of Hope"
Emily Klesick | June 4, 2020
It’s interesting to me, looking back on that moment. I was not a Christian. I had no reason to have any sort of negative stance on abortion. But immediately I knew this: there was a child inside of me. And it didn’t matter how small or how early, that child was mine to carry and protect.

"Unexpected Single Motherhood"
Molly Christensen | May 21, 2020
I never thought this would be part of my story. It was something that was my worst fear. I mean, sure, it happened to other people, but not me. It just couldn't. Well, it did. I got divorced.
 It's been a year since my divorce has been final and four and half years since we originally separated, and I STILL have days where I think, is this really my life?

"It Is Well With My Soul"
Marissa & Tyler Kenworthy  | May 15, 2020
April 23rd, 2019. I pulled that familiar white and purple stick out of a loud, crinkly package, took the test, and waited for results. Three minutes went by; my heart was pounding as I flipped the pregnancy test over to see two pink lines in that tiny little window. My eyes filled with tears of joy and thanksgiving to God; He had entrusted us again with another little life.

"The Miracle in Me"
Brenda Hale  | September 20th 2017
I thought this would be easy to write, not so much. The reason is, I don't want to glorify the sin but only glorify what the Lord has done in my life.

Terry Carlson | March 22, 2017
Have you ever had times in your life when everything goes wrong? You want to take a right but a detour takes you left: you want to make a pumpkin pie but all you have are lemons.
