Rhonda Bunch: The Strength to Triumph Over Tragedy
Rhonda Bunch is a woman of faith who has overcome unfathomable challenges. She is a co-author of the book “Faith for Fiery Trials,” a collection of inspiring stories of triumph over challenges with faith. Rhonda’s story is one of loss, pain, and ultimately, victory. Her chapter in the book talks about the tragic loss of her son and how she found the strength to continue living with faith and hope.
Rhonda’s journey to becoming a co-author in the “Faith for Fiery Trials” project began with her love for writing. She says that writing has always been an outlet for her, a way to express how she was feeling. She never thought that her words could have such a profound impact on others. But when she heard people tell her how much strength they drew from her story, she realized that her writing could make a difference in people’s lives.
“I became a co-author in this awesome anthology because writing has always been an outlet for me. I just used it as a way to express how I was feeling. I never thought that I had the power to share my story and touch someone so personally. But one of the greatest compliments is hearing someone say how they drew strength from me.”
Rhonda’s chapter in “Faith for Fiery Trials” talks about the loss of her son when he was just 21 years old. She shares how she struggled to find meaning in his death and how it challenged her faith. But through it all, she found the strength to continue living and loving those around her.
“One of the greatest challenges of my faith was to intentionally choose to continue to live a happy, peaceful life loving on the family and friends that are still with me in the physical. This is hard sometimes when you question God and yourself, asking why him, why did he have to go like that, what could I have done differently, and a slew of other questions.”
Rhonda’s faith played a significant role in helping her overcome the challenges in her life. She says that her faith is the only reason she has been able to overcome the difficult times. She believes that faith can move mountains and that there are times when we have to take our hands off things and trust God to work things out.
“My faith is the only reason that I have overcome challenges in my life. And the longer I live, the stronger my faith gets. Sometimes I have to reach back into my “faith files” and remember how I got over. My faith files are simply past experiences that I didn’t know how I was going to make it.”
Rhonda’s story is one of hope and inspiration. Her message to readers is to live intentionally and not let tragedy rob them of their time with their loved ones. She encourages readers to find strength in their faith, to take responsibility for their own lives, and to seek support when needed.
“I pray that all who read my story will understand that I intentionally choose EVERYDAY to keep going. Some days are harder than others and there are few days I just don’t care. But on those days, I still talk to God and tell him how I’m really feeling. On those days the Most High always sends gentle reminders that it’s ok. It might be a song, a butterfly or dragonfly, a stranger that is very kind and almost knows exactly what I’m going through without me telling them.”
Rhonda’s story is a testament to the power of faith and the strength of the human spirit. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is hope. Her words inspire readers to find the courage to face their own challenges and trust that they can overcome.
In addition to her role as a co-author, Rhonda is also a speaker who uses her story to inspire others. She believes everyone has a ministry, and hers is to help others going through what she went through.
“I’m often called upon by friends and family to speak to someone, especially a mother, who is dealing with the death of a loved one. I have even spoken in public settings a few times. I just put my story out there, and I’m grateful that those who have read it or are familiar with it will reach out to me when I can be of service to the beautiful souls that are walking the path that I walked.”
Rhonda’s story is one of hope, strength, and triumph over tragedy. She is a living example of the power of faith to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. Her words will inspire readers to find the courage to face their own challenges and trust that they can overcome.
As Rhonda says, “we all can make it. It’s hard and it will hurt, but it’s possible.”
