She shares the miracle she saw in her life of God helping her to recover and forgive. Natalie also discusses how God strengthened her through her covenants, which she realized were still in tact even though her first marriage ended.
Natalie shares her witness that no matter how difficult the trials you face are, all things will work together for your good if you love God and put Him first.
