She believes this opportunity was a blessing from God and was vital to instilling Christian values and having precious years raising her children.After the loss of her youngest son Joseph, and then one year later, her daughter, Victoria, Belinda began journaling and keeping her most private, treasured thoughts and entries on paper. However, after seeing others attempting to navigate grief, she felt she may be able to help if only she shared her story with them. Her message in this book is about people finding Joy, the fruit of the Spirit, as they navigate through loss and grief. She wants others to be able to take their own situation and use it to glorify God's holy name. No matter how tragic the loss or how deep the pain, God can work through you. That has been the foundation for her message, her mission, and her ministry.
