Testimony-
Katie Rosser
At some point in life, we’ll face circumstances or situations that shake the foundation of our faith. Katie’s struggle through infertility did just that. But, what began as the darkest “night” of her life, became the place where the Lord would shine brightest to her. Walking through heartbreak and pain has illuminated the goodness of God in ways a life without them could not have. Through a daily dependence on Him, she’s found Him faithful and trustworthy. She shares her testimony in hopes it encourages others to anchor their hope in Jesus – not an outcome, relief of pain, or change in circumstance. When we do, we’ll develop a confident faith, a faith that endures and withstands through the storms of life.
