The Penny Jar

Even in Kelly's death she lives on to accomplish her purpose in the Lord through her testimony. Through Kelly's testimony we can look into not only the life of Kelly first hand through her journal writings that were left behind, but we are able to look into the life of a mother who struggled through a daughter's addiction and eventually the grief of her death. While Kelly's story is not one of a miraculous deliverance out of addiction in this life, it is a story that sadly too many of us can relate to. Through Kelly's addiction and death her mother, Laura, has journeyed through many trials and the tribulation of grief, to say the least. But God uses all things for the good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. The Lord is using Kelly's story for his purpose in brining addiction awareness and some insight into the life of those in addiction, and the loss of a loved on to addiction, we often feel alone. The truth is, you are never alone. God is with you and so are many others who have fought this fight.
