Stepping Into God's Arms is a personal account of Abigail Emily Chrostowski, who is going through a divorce. She reflects on the pain of finding out that her husband is having an affair and the heartbreak of having to start over at forty.
Abigail admits that she had placed her husband in the place of her savior and how that was a mistake. Now, she is working to heal and find herself in Christ with the help of her pastor, counselor and disciple-maker. She is stepping into God's arms and finding comfort in His Grace.
Abigail encourages women to find community and support in each other and not to let any other human being become their idol. Her story is a powerful reminder that there is life after trauma and that with the help of spirituality, it is possible to accomplish new things, find happiness on your own terms, heal and move forward.
The author is not afraid to tackle tough subjects, like sex and alcohol, while finding her way back to God.
The rawness and truth.
That 14-year-old girl who was violated no longer exists. She stayed in the cocoon long enough to transform into the most beautiful butterfly. She floats around aimlessly, but deep down; she knows her purpose. No longer weak and needy. No longer needing to serve any earthly man.
There is such a thing as unequally yoked. No longer tenacious but a kind, compassionate, loving, tender, empathetic…teacher. Butterflies don't have to roar like lions.
