Hi There, I'm Abby
Welcome to our little corner of the internet. We're THRILLED you're here.
If you're looking for a speaker for your business, your church, your women’s group, or your school district, you can find all that fun stuff here.
If you're hurting and don't know how you're going to make it through one more day, then please accept my awkward, too hard virtual hug.
I've been there... oh, how I've been there.
October 13, 2006, started out a perfect day. My husband, Rick, and daughter, Macy, headed out that morning to school and work. Caleb, my two-and-a-half week old son, and I snuggled in for a day of newborn and mom bonding time.
Around 4 o'clock Macy came bounding through the door exclaiming, "This is the best day of my life!" She went on to tell me all about her adventures climbing in a real-life fire truck as it had been fire safety week.
Her excitement continued as she let me know that McGwire said hello to her by name. (There may have been a bit of swooning.) She then drew a picture of two of them riding in a carriage with crowns.
Throughout the day I had tightness in my chest which became progressively more painful.
Rick and I decided it would be irresponsible to take any chances so we decided I would go to the emergency room (it was Friday at 4 pm by now) to get checked out.
Rick would take Macy to open gym and bring Caleb along as it would be far too dangerous to expose him to germs at the ER.
While in the waiting room, I called Rick to see how things were going.
No answer.
I called again.
No answer.
After the fifth try, panic began to set in, and I left the ER, without being examined, to find my family.
About three miles from our house, I saw a barrage of flashing red and blue lights.
My fears were confirmed. There had been a wreck.
In my worst nightmare, I could not have imagined what would soon be my reality.
"We've found no survivors."
Those were the words I heard from the state trooper as I was standing on the side of the road.
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, life as I knew it was no more.
Maybe that's where you are today. Maybe you are grieving the life you had or thought you would have.
Devastating pain isn't limited to the death of loved ones. Pain comes in a multitude of packages... divorce, infertility, domestic abuse, the list goes on and on... and it hurts the same.
You have your own story.
If you find yourself in a place of devastation, and you don't want to stay there, you're in the right place.
The only way to heal is to go to the ultimate Healer. Regardless of what is going on in your life, God is bigger.
Knowing God is the antidote to your pain. It doesn’t mean you won’t have hardships or tragedies or disappointments. It means that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Rock This Revival’s sole goal is to help you know God through His Word.
If you long to hear God’s voice, go to His Word.
If you’re confused about God’s character, go to His Word.
If you’re tired and weary, go to His Word.
In a time where the world is blurring the lines between what is true and what is not, it is imperative to find the answer yourself.
The answer is found in the Word. And that’s what we’re all about. We can’t wait to take this journey with you.
