Minister and author Daphne K. Johnson’s life took an unexpected turn when her seemingly idyllic marriage ended in divorce, leaving her a single mother. As she reckoned with this new season of life, Daphne realized the strength she would gain from walking through difficult times would be the same strength she would call upon to help someone else.

Quotes

“Connecting with God regularly helped me to get back up, because I made the decision to believe the Word and to trust Him that He would not fail me. Because I was rooted and grounded in knowing who I am in Christ, and knowing that He didn't fail me.” - Daphne K. Johnson

“The concept of divine design means that we are uniquely created and uniquely fashioned on purpose and for purpose. He took the time to create us and to create this world, and He was so intentional in doing so. God instilled gifts and talents in us that can be utilized to help others, we embrace them so that we can show up and so that we can serve those who we believe God has called us to serve.” - Daphne K. Johnson

“You have the ability to make an impact because of the experience that you've had, and you can help others to come along on this journey. Even though this world can be a place where things can sometimes be upside down or not look balanced, at the end of the day, we still have His promises.” - Daphne K. Johnson

“We can be in the middle of what we believe to be a storm that might take us out or wipe us out, but Jesus has things under control. Even though we may experience difficulties, we may experience storms and we may experience things that we can't handle, He can.” - Daphne K. Johnson
