ria and the United Kingdom, but around the
world.
When you look at Erebor’s many
accomplishments and how God uses her to
enlighten, encourage and empower others, it
may be hard to imagine how difficult life
has been for her from
early childhood. Her
journey has been long
and her path paved
with pain, childhood
abuse and domestic
violence. Yet, rather

a victim, with God’s
grace and mercy she
has chosen to live
victoriously.

at God. It seemed to me that He had everyone’s life nicely organized apart from mine
and on countless occasions I told Him exactly
how I felt. So if I came out of the challenges
that life has thrown at me it is only because
God showed me mercy, even when I deserved
none. And it is only because God stayed faithful to me and to His promises to me in spite of
