I wrote Connecting the Dots of a Disconnected Life a few years after my husband died. It seemed like his death was the ultimate disappointment. Yet this book is not about my grief. Rather, it is about trying to put all the disparate parts of my life into a comprehensive whole. You see, grief is but one part of my journey.
Mine is a story of faith lived inside abuse, dissociation, disappointment, grief, loss, and a deep longing to know and serve the God of creation. I don't offer easy answers, spiritual techniques, or a life that neatly came together. I can’t explain how the dots connected, but each experience shared with you, from my move to Israel and involvement in Chinese ministry in Israel, to my marriage and widowhood, inexplicably connects with the next.
What I can offer is an honest witness: that Jesus remained faithful to me when I was disillusioned, fragmented, and unsure of my own voice—and that He continues to work patiently through imperfect, unfinished lives.
Connecting the Dots of a Disconnected Life invites you to join in my journey to put all these pieces together into a picture that not only makes sense but also offers meaning, hope, and a victorious life along the way.

As promised in Connecting the Dots of a Disconnected Life, the therapy drawings mentioned in my memoir are now available to view.
These images are a quiet testimony to healing and growth. Although created during a difficult time of my life, they remind me that even our deepest wounds can become part of our Heavenly Father's redemptive work in our lives.
