In This Episode:
- Kimberly is an accomplished business owner, executive leader, author, and speaker with more than twenty years of diverse leadership experience in both the business and nonprofit world
- She has been married to her husband for 28 years and they have three boys and a girl. The job description of the mom changes once they all graduate.
- We are called to glorify God. God never wastes a hurt. He can repurpose every wound that we have dealt with, encountered, and given to Him, and He will use it for His glory.
- With our stories and testimonies, we can be someone’s tour guide to help them get through something because we lived it. That can be exactly what somebody needs just to know that they are not alone and if someone else survived that I can too.
- Kimberly shares her “Unlikely Choice” God story.
- She spent a lot of time growing up with her grandma. She always remembers Jesus and was saved at five years old.
- She learned to be ready for the unexpected, especially after the loss of her grandpa and a traumatic event with her mom.
- Satan likes to keep things in the dark. If we speak it out, bring it out, and bring it before God, Satan loses some of his grip on that.
- The Lord’s grace and mercy are infinite, and He will help us. It doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences but He will step us every step of the way.
- He has a call and a purpose for each one of us. As long as there is air in our lungs, He has a purpose for us being here. God will use that mess and testimony to honor Him and encourage somebody else.
