Gods greatest gifts to us are always wrapped in struggle paper and this book - photo 1

Gods greatest gifts to us are always wrapped in struggle paper, and this book will help you unwrap yours. You will laugh and cry as you read, but even more, you will be deeply encouraged. This book truly is healing water for the thirsty soul, and that is exactly what I would expect from Pam Vredevelt, a woman of unique wisdom and beauty.

D R . T ED R OBERTS
SENIOR PASTOR , E AST H ILL C HURCH

This is a sensitive, well-balanced book designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift the reader. Its sure to impact your attitude and outlook on the situations youre living with in a positive way. You will want to read the insightful chapters again and again.

H. N ORMAN W RIGHT
BEST SELLING AUTHOR

These inspirational stories will convince you that God is near in the darkest of times, eager to answer the cry of your heart with a miracle or with a flood of grace to sustain you in circumstances you dont understand. If youre feeling a bit overwhelmed, grab my friend Pams book and pull up a chair by the fireyou wont be able to read it without having your heart warmed and your faith strengthened.

R ON M EHL
PASTOR AND AUTHOR OF T HE C URE FOR A T ROUBLED H EART

There are times life takes you down paths you do not want to travel and puts burdens on your shoulders you do not want to bear. Pam Vredevelt tells of her journey through such dark times with authenticity. She acknowledges her strong, turbulent, negative emotions and at the same time, the Lords presence in the midst, meeting the deep heart needs. For those of you who know something of the valley of the shadow, you will connect with this book and its message of life out of death.

P AMELA R EEVE
AUTHOR OF F AITH I S

Pam knows that life is as hard as the ground we walk on. But she brings us to a place where we can take our shoes off and jump into cool, refreshing water. It doesnt change the hardness of the ground, but it sure helps our journey. Not only does Pam write well, but she has a knack for letting us peek into her life and others for the sole purpose of displaying Gods great love. The surrender story in Pams life helps us to surrender as well.

v3.1

To those who have lovingly supported us as we have walked
a new path.

To the compassionate people in this world,
like the ones at the P.R.I.D.E. school, who are committed to helping those with special needs reach their full potential.

To Easthill Church, for embracing our family, shaping our lives,
and reflecting the goodness of God.

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

John and I would like to thank our parents, grandparents, and extended family for the ways they have supported and encouraged us since Nathans arrival. Their love and prayers have given us strength for the journey.

To the P.R.I.D.E. school staff for teaching us how to assist Nathan in his early years of development. You have shined the light on our path during dark days and given us hope for the years ahead.

Our sincere thanks to Pastor Ted and Diane Roberts, who have encouraged us in so many ways, but especially as they have coached us in the refinement and release of ministry. And to Pastor Ron Mehl, who, from across town, has touched our lives with his agape love.

There are some special youngsters who deserve a standing ovation for their availability to be Nathans personal pal in the church nursery. To Lindsey Marsh, Janise Jensen, Sarah Berquist, Jessie Vredevelt, Tony Contreras, Katrina Ekwall, and Anna FerrarBravo! for a job well done. And to Roxie, Reggie, and Becky our gratitude for making Nathans introduction to regular preschool a smashing success.

John and I will be forever grateful to those who have lightened our load and made time-outs possible for us when our stress score was off the charts. Hugs and thanks go to the following people for loving our children while we refueled our tanks: Margaret and Leroy Nikander, Kelli Douglas, Celeste Miller, Bethany Smith, Jane Freeze, Eileen Kennedy, Doug and Marilyn Hume, and Sugar Carpenter.

To Larry Libby, my editor, who gave me the confidence to start writing again. The book was completed because he believed it was a redemptive message worth sharing. When I turned the manuscript over to him, I said, I feel like a student handing my canvas, paints, and brush to the master artist. His creativity and word skills I believe are unparalleled. I consider him a mentor and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to co-labor with him.
