"I would have said, 'pick someone else.  You've got the wrong girl.  I'm not strong like that ... I would not have thought any of that capable of surviving." - just a few words from Marie's authentic heart in this touching episode.  

Friends, she gets it!  She knows pain, and she knows hope!

Imagine a car driving down the road, obeying the laws and minding it's own business... and then, suddenly, out of nowhere was hit head on by a tractor trailer.  The insurance adjuster would come along and see that the hit car was no doubt deemed "totaled" or "a total loss". 

Some may have imagined Marie's life to be "totaled" after her husband took several children's lives and then his own life in the Amish schoolhouse shooting.

Marie shares how she was in fact hit head on and desperate for help as the trajectory of her life was suddenly changed forever.  But, she still had two choices.  

Listen in to how and why Marie is living proof that we are all restorable.  There IS HOPE for Marie, for her kids...and for you and I!  Friends, this episode is so powerful and is leaving a lasting impact on me!
