“Today, I am watching prayers become reality. I am working, serving in my church and with young people, growing in my recovery, and stepping into a home of my own. Those may look like ordinary things to some people, but to me they are evidence of a God who restores.” —Valarie
Valarie recently shared that she didn’t always welcome the meetings, chores, accountability, or hard questions at Legacy. Looking back, she sees how God used those everyday experiences—and a community that kept showing up—to help her heal and believe her life still had purpose.
“I have learned two words that continue to anchor my life: He can.”
Join us in praying for Valarie and the women doing the hard, everyday work of recovery—that they would recognize their growth and hold onto hope for what’s ahead.
Valarie and her son, Isaac Martinez, will be our featured speakers at Made New: Evening of Impact on November 10. We hope you’ll join us to hear more of their story.
