Grace Ann Long, A Beautiful Walking Testimony Of God’s Grace

If you are wondering if God gives second chances, you want to meet Author of the book ‘God’s Grace’ and CEO of Shades by Gal, Grace Ann Long. In 2011 Grace Ann had an accident at the verge of her brand taking off. She was stopped in her track, she has done five neck surgeries and have had a spine stimulator placed inside her operated by a remote to control the pain that accompanies the surgeries since then. “I did a neck surgery every year for many years.”

“It was God’s Grace that kept me. God placed me on my knees permanently at his feet. As I look over my life, I realized, if it had not been the Lord on my side, I would be dead. I know I can never repay the debt that God cleared for me. Grace was brought with a price and it was not cheap. You will never understand my daily pain, though social media shows me smiling for a minute what they don’t see is me being plug up to a device charging, trying to ease my pain, or the meds I take daily just to function.”

If you get this book, you will be encouraged to have faith, even if it is tiny faith because faith as small as a mustard seed is attractive to God. He can do wonders with that! Finally, you will be inspired to persevere, knowing that ``tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4).
