Struggle of Will Part 1: An End Before the Beginning

Erika was a good girl. She never did drugs; never slept around. She tried her best to be good to others. She grew up in the shadows of great churches and preachers and thought she had a firm grasp on the God who created the universe and gave her life. Living a blessed life and marrying the man of her dreams, she found her calling being a stay-at-home mom. A textbook like third pregnancy was proof to her that life was good, until the heartbeat of Erika's little boy could no longer be found within her. Was he gone? Could there be a death before a life? In this day and age of medical advancements, did "stillborn" even still exist? How can something like that happen to a good girl? A preacher's daughter who was assured in who she was and the kind of King she believed in and served certainly didn't deserve this. Did He forsake her? Did He leave her alone in her darkest hour? Would she receive her miracle? James 5:16 promises "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous (GIRL) avails much." Were those words that had been ingrained in her heart, true? Would He receive her prayers? Could she still have faith in light of such a tragedy? Struggle of Will (Part 1): AN END BEFORE THE BEGINNING is a battle between reality and the desires of the heart. It is a story of loss and redemption. A story of despair and endless hope when facing unimaginable suffering, this story will captivate you and place the reader inside the heart and soul of the hurting. Written as a great novel, this true story will flood the reader with love as they experience both humor and pain, raw emotion and perhaps, a little victory, alongside the writer in her hours of turmoil.
