The Wilderness Gang: Loving Others Who Hurt Us Coloring Story Book

Diane was raised in a small town in Michigan and was born with a congenital problem in both knees. She went through many surgeries, trying to correct the problem but there was never really a cure. Little did she know that God had ＂branded＂ her at birth, for such a moment as this. Many in this world grow up and go to school or college to get their education but that’s not what God had in store for Diane. Her education for writing came from twenty-one painful knee surgeries, heartache from sexual abuse as a child, and the loss of many things in her life, including the loss of children. As each painful moment came and as each loving desire left, God was taking all the brokenness in Diane’s life, and He was piecing it together, so she could have the heart He desired...a heart that could understand and care for others who live in despair. As of this year, Diane has ministered to many in need, for over 15 years and God continues to open new doors for her to walk through. Now, she is serving God full-time, as she continues to reach out to others in need, through her writings and the Risen Hope Ministries. One thing that God has taught Diane over the years; is that no matter what we lose out on or experience in life; God will always be there to pick up the broken pieces and fill the empty voids in our lives. At the most difficult and heartbreaking moments of Diane’s life, she has come to see that God never abandons His own but rather, He exchanges the painful moments, for the true plan He has for each of our lives. www.risenhopeministries.com
