Foreword

Deb Willows is one of those people you never forget—and those who know her well consider her a treasured asset in the Kingdom of Christ. That’s because Deb knows something about what it means to be “more than a conqueror.” She understands how to “welcome a trial as a friend” and “rejoice in suffering.” She understands the virtues of perseverance and persistence. She lives out the encouragement Paul gave to Timothy to endure hardship as a good soldier. Such mandates from Scripture are tall orders for the average believer, and I’m convinced that is why God raises up special servants like Deb Willows. He understands the power of example.

And that’s why Deb is such a treasure in the kingdom. She’s the example we all need. Why? Well, those who endure greater conflict always have something powerful to say to those who face lesser conflict—and that’s how I look at this remarkable servant of the Master. This woman is a rare jewel in the body of Christ, inspiring and encouraging all those who know her. And I trust you will come to know her well through this book, Living Beyond My Circumstances. The book you hold in your hand is filled with nuggets of biblical insight and wisdom, honed and shaped from years of living with a significant disability. So be encouraged. Be blessed. And see what wonderful things the Holy Spirit has to say to you through Deb’s story!
