Tracie,
welcome to Overcoming With God. We
appreciate your willingness to share your testimony of overcoming with our
readers. Tracie, your Minnesota series will be on my 2013 Favorites list, next week, here on OWG!
Would
you tell us about the most difficult thing in your life you have had to
overcome, with God’s help?
Answer: Wow, there
have been so many truly life changing difficulties and in each case God has
deepened my faith. When I was expecting
my third child, the doctors told me that the baby would be hopelessly deformed
and would most likely die shortly after birth.
The doctor’s tried to pressure me to abort, but as a Christian woman, I
didn’t believe this was the answer. My husband and I prayed a great deal and
though the situation didn’t change – encouragement wasn’t offered and the
doctors continue their desire for me to abort.
It was just before Christmas when I got this bad news and I was
participating in a Christmas choir program.
As I sat praying in the church and waiting to practice a portion of the
program, I felt overwhelmed about this unborn child. I begged God to give me peace and He
did. The choir began to sing, “For unto
us a child is born…unto us a son is given.”
I felt God’s comfort pour over me and knew that not only would
everything be all right – no matter the outcome – and that we would have a son.
The next year on Mother’s Day I delivered a healthy son. It had a most difficult time of trusting God
and waiting. The doctors couldn’t give
me exact answers and it seemed that everywhere I turned – folks discouraged me
about the pregnancy, but God was stronger and able to pull my focus to
Him. I couldn’t resist praising God as I
showed my perfect son off to the doctors who’d wanted him to die.

Disability
friendliness:
Most of my books are available on audio and large
print. Miner’s Lady is definitely
available in both formats as well as ebook.
(CFP: I will be reviewing 3 audiobooks in this series, this
week!)
In this
latest work, do you have any topics useful for bibliotherapy, or therapeutic
influence through reading about a disorder or situation?
Answer: the
therapeutic influence is mostly spiritual.
I have two families who bear each other a long term grudge and through
God’s intercession and the love of two young couples there comes healing for
the hearts of those involved. All of my
books have themes of forgiveness, mainly because I’ve had much forgiven me and
I’ve been called to forgive much.
Thank
you, Tracie, for agreeing to answer these questions. Have a blessed day and keep on writing!!
