You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything else.

The 17 cent Miracle, Chapter 7

One day I woke up and realized I no longer knew who I was. Working 50 hours a week, raising five children, and taking care of a large home—somehow I lost myself in the shuffle. To further complicate the matter, I did not like who I had become. I prayed to Heavenly Father begging for help and the answer received became a leap of faith which changed my life in more ways than ever imagined.

This is a true story of a journey my husband and I found ourselves on while encountering several job changes over a six year period, taking us on adventures in four different states. It is about self-discovery, finding gratitude, growing faith, and realizing happiness in the most unexpected places. It is a testimony of complete conversion through repentance and forgiveness, overcoming personal struggles, and the blessing of receiving the baptism of fire.
 
The 17 cent Miracle emphasizes trusting the Lord’s plan and the unseen paths that are quietly being orchestrated by angels behind the scenes. Ultimately understanding that our trials and the lessons learned from them eventually lead to some of our greatest blessings.
