knows what
it is to be
broken,
homeless and
hopeless.
She was an

education
teacher and
coach but in
her
twenties,
Diane was
diagnosed
with a
debilitating
and
incurable
blood
disease
called
cryoglobulinemia
vasculitis.
Pain became
her
constant companion.
She was
devastated
and lost all
that was
important to
her.
Thinking she
was better
off dead
than disabled she
contemplated
suicide. However,
in the midst
of her
despair,
Diane
received the
transforming
love of
Jesus.
Through this
experience
she learned
the
secret to
happiness
and that God
still has a
purpose and
plan
for her life
even if her
body is
broken.

perseverance
and

turned into
a gift that

is Satan's worst
nightmare
because she
will not
give up! She
challenges
us all to
realize,
"With God
nothing is
impossible
and it's
never too
late to be
all He
created you
to be." She's
experienced
terrible
tragedy yet
she prevails
with her
husband,
God's love
and the
