    About this ebook

    Cindy Lowrey knows what it’s like to feel invisible. She was thrown away by her parents and was afraid of growing up and not mattering to anyone and felt worthless. Then something happened—she realized God made her just the way he wanted in order for her to have complete joy. Accepting his love and sacrifice made her visible; she matters and is full of worth. As you read Cindy’s story, you will see how God took a sad, lonely girl and turned her into a woman who loves her life.

      But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

      —2 Corinthians 4:7–11 (ESV)

      When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to know, it is well, it is well, with my soul.

      —It Is Well with My Soul, Philip Bliss

      I feel blessed to be able to share my story. I have learned that God never makes mistakes, and he is always with me. My story does not start under the best of circumstances. So let’s start at the beginning.

      My dad’s name was William Joseph Strong. He was born on July 7, 1939. His parents (my grandparents), Charles and Frances, had a tumultuous relationship. My grandmother was a model. She was beautiful. My grandfather was an alcoholic. He beat my grandmother constantly. The women in the family would take turns staying with my grandmother during the day so she would not get beat. As soon as they would leave, my grandfather would start beating her. Things just got worse. My grandmother received very bad advice from one of the women in the family.

      She said, Frances, if you want to stay married to Charles, you need to join him. So that is what she did. She began to drink and soon was an alcoholic herself.

      When my dad was thirteen, his parents would take him to the bars as their drinking buddy. He was an alcoholic by the time he was eighteen years old. They lived in a low-income housing community in Warminster, Pennsylvania, called Lacey Park. Lacey Park is still there. In fact, if you drive on Jacksonville Road, you would pass the field behind the house we lived in.

      My mother’s name is Marlene. She was born on August 12, 1939. Her parents, oma and opa, Louise and Ernst, lived in Germany until my mother was about twelve years old. During the war, they saw their home being bombed two times. My grandfather had about seventeen dollars to his name when he, along with his wife and two daughters, Rosemary and Marlene (my mother), came to America. He became a barber. He built a home in Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania.

      For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and
