Allow me to introduce myself; My name is Caroline, wife of Pastor Tony, and we have been married 40 years! Throughout my life, God has revealed to me the transformative power of living for Christ, and it brings me immense joy to share the incredible journey of His grace in my life. I stand as a living testimony, a testament to God’s purpose for every life from the womb to the grave, as He saved me the first time when my mother attempted to end her pregnancy.
The early years of my life were characterized by the pain of my parents’ divorce at the age of 3. Following the divorce, my mother was granted custody, and it was during this time that I experienced the onset of emotional abuse. However, at the age of 7, sitting at the kitchen table one Christmas while visiting my father, he prayed with me to receive Jesus as my Savior. This pivotal moment set the course for a life anchored in faith and resilience.
Our family’s journey has not been without its trials that have tested our faith. Yet, through it all, God’s grace has been our guiding light, sustaining us through the darkest nights and celebrating with us in moments of triumph.
As II Timothy 4:2 talks about being ready to give testimony “in season and out of season…,” I would be honored to share my story with the ladies of your congregation or organization, whether it’s a scheduled event or a need for a fill-in speaker. My prayer is to give hope and help others embrace the transformative power of God’s love and the resilience that comes from trusting in Him.
