"For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ."

(1 Corinthians 3:11)

Meet Dr. Carolyn Johnson

Carolyn Johnson and her family have encountered more than a few obstacles ...

Her husband has been in three automobile accidents where his vehicle was totaled each time. In one of those accidents, his vehicle was an ambulance. 

Husband Jim has had cancer and major surgery.  He has been robbed at gunpoint by teenagers in a gang and then shot in the face. Carolyn was pregnant with her second child and the trauma led to complications.

When their third child stopped breathing and had seizures, they were told he was probably brain-damaged. 

God has led her through a couple of desert experiences – one lasting over five years. Carolyn reflects, "For those who have had desert experiences, you know it's a very dry time. It can include issues of health, loss of relationships, finances, jobs, children. One feels stripped of just about everything when you are in the desert. And yet, the ironic thing about these experiences is that when you finally get through them, you come out so incredibly strong in your faith and have a relationship you never dreamed of having with God. At the other side of this experience you see it has been worth it all."
