Recently my church had the honor of having Lana be the speaker at our women’s retreat. We were encouraged by her testimony of God’s goodness to her, even through her medical trial. It was inspirational to see how He continues to use her as salt and light in the lives of women who strive to have balance in their lives, both spiritually and physically.
