Miraculous

Are you struggling to believe there is a purpose for your life, that you can make

sense of what seems like a mess? Struggling to believe that there is someone –

anyone – who cares about you? Struggling to believe that after all you’ve been

through, seen, or done that there is a chance you’ll ever find peace and

wholeness again? As a little girl growing up in a post-USSR Ukrainian iron

mining town, Lena spent her life grappling with these same questions. This raw,

transparent account of her life chronicles the years she spent running –

running from a broken family, broken country, and broken dreams - in pursuit of

something or someone who could calm the hopeless nightmare that her life had

become. Drug addicted, alcohol dependent, and twice trafficked to foreign

countries, she still had glimpses of what her life could be and kept chasing

the elusive peace she constantly craved. However, on the other side of each

empty promise of fulfillment she only ever found more pain until one day, one

promise checked out. Lena met someone who showed her she didn’t have to run

anymore. Miraculous is a story of the storm before the calm, a journey from

pain to healing. It is Lena’s story, but it could be yours, too.
