Faith by Default

My journey through faith intensified as I faced the insurmountable and most devastating period of my life yet, the illness and subsequent death of my mother. When Momma was diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2005, my life began to slowly fall apart. I was not only losing a mother but also the best friend I had in the entire world. I was filled with much anger and pain. There was nothing I could do but depend on someone greater than myself to get me through this period. It was at my greatest moment of despair that I began to recognize who was in control - our most precious Lord and Savior! This day by day account of a young woman and her family's struggle in the face of a devastating and emotional challenge is a must read for those trying to maintain faith in a period of turmoil.
