On October 17, 1989, my wife Karen was traumatically robbed when five men broke into her house and dragged her out of the shower at gunpoint. In that debilitating moment of pain, Karen’s peace was stolen from her, and she was forced to walk an unexpected road to recovery.
On March 16, 2014, I suddenly found myself on a road that would lead to a fight for my life. Initially the doctors thought it was Pneumonia, but after an Echocardiogram they quickly discovered my situation was much more critical. After an emergency transport by helicopter to the Heart Center, and thirty-six hours after my battle initially began, three doctors met my wife in the hospital waiting room and said, “Stephen is simultaneously experiencing congestive heart failure and pulmonary failure. He’s between a rock and a hard place.”
Here are our stories on video of pain and disruption, from our new book: Unexpected: What to Do When Life Disrupts Your Plans. They are testaments to God’s extraordinary faithfulness in our darkest hours.
