It was a tragic accident, but must she really go to jail?


"It's okay, John," she said. "I'm just a little bird and God is moving my feeder." She wiped the tears from her own eyes. "I understand it now. We spend our whole life thinking we are the center of the universe. And then God shifts things around and we realize it isn't about us at all. It never was. It's about Him. We are just the little birds, singing the day away to make Him happy."

Emma is a Hurst, and a very determined one. Hursts are strong; they aren't known for giving up or giving in easily. But the chisel of affliction has a way of chipping away at human strength until it seems puny indeed. Epilepsy, death of loved ones, incarceration, cancer, the challenges of long singlehood followed by those of marriage—God used all these things to shape Emma into a woman with a sole desire to yield herself completely to Him.

Follow Emma through her fascinating journey as a Mennonite farm girl, factory seamstress, college student, public schoolteacher, wife, and widow. Be amazed at the wise and loving hand of God as He patiently guides, protects, and creates a Hurst with real strength: a daughter joyfully surrendered to her heavenly Father.
