7This is a story of two sisters who God has brought through the wilderness, two sisters who have had immense pain, trauma, heartache, abuse, neglect, rejection, and the heartbreaking loss of a child. We are these sisters, and we are survivors. Better than that, we are thriving, thanks to the love and redemption of Jesus! There is nothing God cannot do. We are living proof of that. No part of either of us wanted to write this story to face the pain all over again and to open wounds that we have pushed down. But the Holy Spirit would not let it go. The cry of our hearts is that if just one person can have some hope, a new beginning, a sense of "Hey, maybe I am not alone," then this is all worth it. Lorna Goss: Lorna was born in Portland Oregon.
