Life: More Abundantly!

by Darla Noble

John 10:10

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Heath and Ginger are parents to two boys — one with a rare genetic disease that will prevent him from reaching his fifth birthday.

They know the reality of the situation — they live with it 24/7 — but they don’t let the future keep them from enjoying the present.

These young parents are nothing short of inspiring. Despite all the planning and preparation necessary for even the simplest of outings, they are giving their boys an amazing and beautiful family experience; one with God in the middle of it all.

When Ginger learned she was expecting baby #3, she encountered her biggest spiritual battle yet. Despite the fact that it was a planned pregnancy, her excitement soon turned to fear. She was terrified because Satan swooped in trying to steal her joy and her peace — to make her feel undeserving of the abundance of love God has to give her.

But because of her strong faith and a godly marriage and support system, Ginger took back the joy Satan tried to steal and regained the peace he had replaced with fear.

Ginger knows she is valuable and significant in God’s eyes. She knows she has an abundance of reasons to be joyful and give thanks. You do, too!
