challenges, recovery, and my🙏prayer for you
How can I pray for you this week? Reply to this email and let me know.
How are you doing?
So much has changed in the last few weeks, yet nothing has changed. Food prices are still high, kids attend school, people go to work, and it’s nearly February. My oldest baby turns 40, and my oldest grandbaby turns 10 this month. My mom celebrates her 73rd wedding anniversary with memories. There is loss, celebration (my youngest grandbaby turns one month old), and plans for the future.
Let me know how I can pray for you. Each day, we take a step in faith. Every day, our Father holds our hand. Every night, we place our lives in His hands. Each morning, we give thanks for His love and mercy.

Ezekiel 36:25-27
25 I will sprinkle you with clean water, and you will be clean. I will wash away all of your dirtiness, and you will be clean and pure, free from the taint of idols. 26 I will plant a new heart and new spirit inside of you. I will take out your stubborn, stony heart and give you a willing, tender heart of flesh. 27 And I will put My Spirit inside of you and inspire you to live by My statutes and follow My laws.
Lord, thank You for my reader. Lord God, I call out to You on her behalf. Cover her with clean water, and she will be clean. You wash away all her dirtiness. She is clean and pure, free from the taint of idols.
Thank You, Lord God, for giving her a new heart and spirit. You have removed her stubborn, stony heart, making it willing and tender. Your Spirit inside her inspires her to live for You every day.
Lord, You are our Great and Mighty King. You fight for us every day. We trust in You. We rest in You, knowing You are faithful. Help us to be grateful and praise Your name, Almighty God. Be glorified through her. In Jesus's name, Amen.
Have a blessed week!
Thank you for reading!

Palo Santo, a highly revered essential oil in South America, translates from Spanish as "holy wood" and is traditionally used to elevate the mind and purify the air. It comes from the same botanical family as frankincense and is often used in meditation for its inspiring aroma that can evoke positive influences. Palo Santo can be diffused at home during the rainy season or used outdoors to keep unwanted annoyances at bay. It is from Young Living.

Other Side
From Trauma to Triumph: Kim Cottrell's Journey of Faith and Healing
Getting to Happy, Joyous, and Free
This book delves into the intimate and turbulent experiences of her childhood, marked by abandonment and severe abuse. Kim's candid narrative transcends mere storytelling to serve as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith and forgiveness. Kim's early years were overshadowed by sexual molestation and both physical and psychological abuse, experiences that should have been filled with innocence and joy.
These traumas led her to renounce her belief in God by the age of nine. As she matured, the scars of her past propelled her toward a life of self-destruction, characterized by substance abuse and dangerous behaviors, as she struggled to escape her pain. However, Kim's life experienced a pivotal shift when she began to perceive subtle yet persistent signs of divine intervention.
The Other Side chronicles her profound transformation from despair to peace and happiness, illustrating how divine love and grace continue regardless of one’s past or doubts. Kim’s mission in sharing her journey is to inspire and support others facing similar challenges. Her story offers hope and a path toward a life filled with joy, purpose, and freedom, particularly for those battling anxiety, addiction, loneliness, and low self-esteem.
Beyond her impactful narrative, Kim leads a life rich with adventure and professional success. Her career in finance contrasts sharply with her passion for extreme sports, including class V whitewater kayaking and mountain climbing. Residing in Vienna, Virginia, Kim continues to inspire by demonstrating that one can thrive despite life's most daunting challenges.
The Other Side is more than an autobiography; it is a beacon of hope for anyone overwhelmed by life’s trials. It encourages readers to seek a brighter, more joyous existence, reinforcing the belief in transformative power and unconditional divine love. Download now!
