Listen to Marilyn tell the story of learning to trust God in despair - again. Even in dark chapters, God's promises remain. In fact, God can use our grief as a catalyst to know Christ more intimately. Marilyn saw firsthand the results of being faithful through Him, and how our God is most certainly a God of abundance.
