Recently, Pat Boone wrote, “Annie Farris, story is one of the most powerful testimonies I’ve read in a long time. It’s a story of overcoming and victory in this sad and broken world.”

Considered by my mother and grandmother as hopeless, they agreed it would have been better had I never been born. How do you overcome an indictment like that? I didn’t know anything about faith or courage at the time. Born in the ghetto of Memphis to an abusive teenaged mother and told by an eye doctor who believed that I probably wouldn’t make it past third grade, no wonder I was considered a burden. The odds of succeeding in life were slim.

Enter God who had a different plan. Setting the miraculous in motion, He did for me what I could not do for myself. Using implausible circumstances He sent a complete stranger into my life to help me and who, with her love, radically transformed everything. Even when overwhelmed by my mother’s abusive marriages, the core of what that one person taught me got me through.

Because of experiencing a complete change in attitude and a having new opinion of myself, against all odds, I graduated from college, became a successful teacher, professional actress and singer, news broadcaster, talk show host, parent and award winning realtor.

Some of you have come from a dismal past or from a negative, discouraging background with no positive influence in your life. Others may have come from a good, solid home but have had failures and disappointments which have set you back. Many have had the unexpected throw you for a loop. But the good news is that God hears. He can intervene and send help even miraculously at any moment from sources that never occur to us, or He can radically revolutionize our thinking and our opinions of ourselves right where we are. With his help, our lives can radically change for the better.

Because God helped me to overcome all odds, with God’s help, surely you the reader will see that you can overcome life’s hardships, too, and even go on to be that one person to someone else.
