Abandoned and betrayed are emotions Chelsea would come to feel very early on in life; first as an eight-year old and later on as a young bride and mother. What have I done wrong? Why am I being punished? Why has my God forsaken me? During these tumultuous times she would retreat and spend quiet time with God; longing to hear His voice, find answers and guidance. But He remained silent... Yet, she would prevail. She felt lost and without purpose, until one day when she heard Him whisper: Wait on Me... And so she did.
