2.3 Who Was Franklin Small?

[Jessica]

God was introduced to me when I was 7. Between the seperation of my parents, fear of abandonment, rebellion teenage years, the Lord revealed himself to me as he did Franklin in so many ways to redirect me back onto His path. I feel the Lord has used these events for me as a way to connect with and love on others who struggle the same way. I feel he has taken these trials, and turned them for good by molding me and preparing my heart to walk with others in the same scenarios. He placed me where I am today so I can be a person of understanding, compassion, and a light of hope in which I have overcome such tribulations, that others will see and can overcome also only through Him.

..Never really pondered this until you asked. What a great eye opening question.

I feel as though I have seen God working in my life most recently through my moving back to Calgary and getting involved with ACOP. There were a lot of decisions I felt led to make while I was living in SK that I did not fully understand, but it was equipping me for this season of my life. Everything from schooling, church experience, and even my own personal growth I feel prepared me to carry out the roles I play right now well.
