Pennies from Heaven

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 "Mommy, if I die before you pick up every penny you see cause that will be me saying I love you." My daughter Chrissy made this request to me only months before being murdered by her boyfriend. Today, the entire family continues the ritual of picking up pennies in remembrance of Chrissy. In this candid dichotomy of a depressed Christian, I share a journey of the heart and a paradigm shift in my spiritual life as I struggled with losing my daughter to Domestic Violence. Going from pain to purpose, God's promise of healing rebuilt my foundation of faith.
