***Warning: This episode discusses a traumatic beach experience where I almost lost my husband and son in the ocean. If you have experienced drowning or something similar, this podcast episode can be triggering.***
This episode was tough. I wasn’t sure I was going to share this story. But after talking to my husband and my son, we all decided it was important to share. On our Spring Break beach vacation, my husband and son were pulled out into the ocean by a rip current. If it were not for two strangers on the beach who jumped into action, I would have lost my husband and son. In this episode, I recount the story, how the trauma changed our family and how we found our faith through it all.
If we can help just one family, our trauma can have purpose. I hope you will listen, educate yourself on the dangers of rip currents, and how you can find faith through your darkest moments.
