"I am a cheerful Christian; but not because life is easy, or because I feel the constant guidance of my Savior. Instead, I am cheerful because, with Christ, I'm enough."
Olivia Ruth Barney spent over a decade of her childhood fighting her health. Through chronic pain and digestive issues that left her unable to eat for days at a time, she felt abandoned by God.

And that decision changed the entire course of her life.
