Daughter of Thunder: The Calm After the Storm A Memoir April Young

My life was not one ofglorious wonderment every day. There were memories that I remember as great ones and memories that I would like to forget. Fortunately, they are etched in my mind as a reminder of the goodness of God and where He has brought me from. Some of you may judge me for the mistakes I have made along the way. The great thing about mistakes is that they can be corrected and learned from. You see, I am the only one who can tell my story. It was God alone that came to my rescue. There were many inner struggles that caused me to doubt why I existed. After all, what was so special about me that I could ever be loved? God was there when I experienced pain in the worst way, and it was my heart that was open to receive the best love ever given to me. That LOVE... Jesus Christ. Life is about living and realizing that every breath counts and should not be taken for granted. I find comfort in knowing that I am forgiven, and I also have forgiven. When it was all said and done... I chose life. April Young resides in Virginia with her husband Micheal.
