Thorn in Her Side: Walking in Faith

By Dorkendra C Austin

She was six years old when she first heard the word diabetes. She didn't understand it, but she understood the fear in her mother's eyes.

What followed was a life of needles, numbers, and nights when her blood sugar dropped so low that her only prayer was to wake up in the morning. Then came the hospital stays, the shame she hid from the people she loved, and a loss that made one question louder than ever: "Why me, Lord?"

Like the apostle Paul, Dorkendra C. Austin begged God to remove her thorn. He didn't. Instead, He gave her something she never expected: grace that healed her perspective, her identity, and her sense of purpose.

In Thorn in Her Side: Walking in Faith, Dorkendra shares her honest testimony and walks beside anyone carrying a thorn of their own, whether illness, grief, disappointment, or the long ache of waiting. Inside, you'll discover:

Why "Why me?" can be the beginning of deeper faith, not the end of itHow to bring your rawest prayers to a God who is not offended by themWhat it means to trust God with what He chooses not to removeHow a painful thorn can become a purposeful assignment

This isn't a book of quick fixes. It's a reminder that God sees, God hears, and God remains faithful, especially in the waiting.

If you love God but feel tired of carrying your thorn alone, open these pages and walk in faith with someone who understands.
