L.A.B. Chat #18 with Kim Vinyard – Beauty for Ashes, A Me Too Story Filled with Grace and Glory

Kim’s innocence was stolen when she was nine by a child predator who had probably been preyed upon by someone else but through God’s grace 
Kim life was restored.Kim made me brave! Because she told her story I had the courage to tell mine too.

I hadn’t planned on sharing my story but as Kim shared her story as part of her testimony I was compelled to share mine. Our interview just so happened to be scheduled around the time the #metoohashtag became very popular last week.

It was so freeing to finally be able to talk about what happened to me and how it affected me openly after all these years with a different perspective knowing that I am healed and God has made it all work together for my good. He can do the same for you.

Our conversation blessed me, and I hope it will bless you. God’s love, acceptance, and beauty shapes us into who He called us to be not what the enemy planned. Our God gives beauty for ashes and replaces our pain with grace and glory!

Kim is seasoned with the love of God and ready to minister to other women with the heart of the Father.Kim has a heart for women and empowering people of all ages and walks of life to seek God and improve their lives.  She will be apart of our panel of women at Called Women’s Conference happening in San Diego, January 6th, 2018. We hope you join us for this special event!

Kim owned her own floral design business for almost 6 years, she mainly did weddings and special events. However, the Lord led her to lay that down for a far more important job – raising her boys. Looking back, Kim said her life’s work has really all been “wife-ing” her husband of 20 years and raising her 3 sons, ages 21, 19 and 14. Two of her own and one her godson.
