Can you look at a life with its twists and turns and predict the outcome of that life? Many people --including teachers, psychologists and other professionals believe that circumstances determine outcome; that broken lives are the automatic consequence of poverty, divorce, discrimination, abuse, or a myriad of other factors. This often is true, but every now and then something happens; God intervenes, and circumstances become stepping stones. As one who has lived it, I know that circumstances don't define, but enable and fortify; and can be used to declare the awesome power of a loving God in the life of His child. This story is true. I am a living testimony of the power of God. Iona Hollins
