On the occasion of our meeting at the third ward medical clinic, Dawn spoke of her experiences knowing that despite her circumstances she had a renewed conviction to stay with the Lord because He was showing Himself to her through providing food, clothing, a bible and medical treatment.
Dawn stated that it is the word of God that has kept her encouraged remembering that greater is He that is within me than he who is in the world. She spoke of living through a time when she had forgotten to love, but God reminded her that He is love.
Dawn also spoke of lessons learned from her grandmother one of the most important being that of forgiveness.
In her own words she said she remembered her grandmother talking about the year of jubilee and that she believes that this is a year of new beginnings for her and that this is her year to reap her harvest.
