EMBRACING GOD’S NEW STORY is a testimony of God’s unfailing love and His powerful presence in a believer’s life. The reader will learn about Lillian’s horrific life changing automobile accident, her spiritual visit to Heaven, and her long difficult journey to accept her disabilities. Because of the Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord injury, she must re-learn her ability to walk, talk, write, and think again. Lillian’s courage to believe in a God of hope and love has allowed her to write a book that will encourage all who are facing challenging times, living in darkness and/or facing doubts about God’s loving grace.

When Lillian walks into a room there is something special. She carries the light well! Although, she lives with pain and struggle, her love and trust in God is prevalent. Her daily surrender is evident of her love for God and for others. She is the first one to jump in to help with her wonderful gift of hospitality. Also, her warmness and willingness to comfort others in the same way she has been comforted is evidence of quiet moments spent with Christ. You are a wonderful ambassador of Christ. Your contribution is wonderful. Just because you do not feel it or see it. Trust me! You are special Lillian! I want to encourage you to press on.

As a believer, I love reading stories like EMBRACING GOD’S NEW STORY purely for the fact that it displays a beautiful and extraordinary dimension of God’s supernatural power at play. It is the kind that walks a person through the enormity of the horrific trauma accident that should have ended Lillian’s life or left her in a paralyzed state. Yet she is here with us, a walking miracle. Lillian’s story revives and encourages hearts. It increases faith to believe in His unlimited power and promises working today. I am grateful to Lillian for sharing her encounter with God, her authentic account of post-accident struggles, and learning of the promises she latched onto to carry her through a dark season in her life.

From the first day I met Lillian, I immediately thought….wow, what a very interesting person. As our friendship grew, so did my deep admiration for her bravery and courage to endure a life of emotional and physical pain. EMBRACING GOD’S NEW STORY is a compelling story of Lillian’s journey after a horrific automobile accident resulting in life-threatening injuries. Her deeply inspiring story is not only miraculous but her ability to move forward in life after facing unimaginable darkness and isolation is a testament of hope. I believe that anyone who reads her book will be deeply blessed. She is a beautiful example of God’s love, and I am very blessed to call her my friend.

Modern medicine states she should not be able to walk. Psychologist states she should be struggling with anxiety and depression. Instead of suffering from the mental and physical limitations forced upon her by the horrific automobile accident, for twenty-five years my mother has been accomplishing the impossible. During her darkest times, she did not look around at her circumstances, she looked up. She set her face upon her Savior and allowed Him to fill her, lead her, and transform her. God has worked and continues to work in and through her life. This is not my mother’s story; this is the truth of what God has done and continues to do in her life.

Lillian has truly been an inspiration to my life. Each day I watch her struggle with her disabilities with bravery and courage. As she has exemplified, her life will shine a light toward Christ for anyone who reads EMBRACING GOD’S NEW STORY.
