My name is Kimberly Preston (Paniccia). I am a daughter, a sister, a mom, a teacher, an author, and more recently a new wife and Mimi to 4 beautiful grandchildren. At the ripe age of 50 I wrote “It’s Real to Me”, a book that chronicles how I see my life’s journey through the lens of God’s Word. Using scripture I find that I can personally relate to a parable, a person, or a plight from every Book of the Bible. Experiencing unexpected pains in my life, brought me to see how real and personal this most ancient Book of books truly is. It was during multiple miscarriages, divorce, a trip to Africa, and the death of my beloved dad that I felt the closeness of God like never before. As I held my 13 week old fetus in the palm of my hand; HE changed me forever. As I walked through a divorce I did not desire; HE filled me with his wisdom and peace. As I skeptically traveled to Uganda; HE used me to make a difference. And after my dad’s sudden death, as I hesitantly stepped in as Mom’s full-time caregiver; HE blessed me beyond measure. God never let go of me. It was there in my weakest moments, HE held me and I felt His hand upon me. Sad, raw and vulnerable; HE showed me His plan to use the hardships of my life for a greater good. A plan meant not to harm me, but to give me a hope and a future. He has that plan for you too. As you encounter His presence along my journey, I pray it helps you encounter Him on your journey too. May our disappointments become God’s appointments.
