Elizabeth met her husband of 20 years while in high school and they married one week after her high school graduation. A few months later, the events of 9/11 took place and her husband deployed shortly after. In the midst of living with a husband who returned from combat with depression, anxiety, symptoms of PTSD, and explosive anger, Elizabeth’s heart took on a lot of hurt. Even with all of that taking place, she did her best to push through in her own effort and help hold everyone else’s lives together by shutting down her own dreams and desires.  In July 2017, Elizabeth’s husband had his heart restored at a men’s Drop Zone through ORW. What Jesus did for him was a starting place of healing for Elizabeth!

After attending a Drop Zone in October 2019, Elizabeth’s heart came alive and she embraced the truth of who she really is. As she walks out her freedom, she sees relationships in her life growing and healing in her marriage, with her daughters, and in her relationship with Jesus.

She serves ORW because her heart is for women to receive the same healing and restoration Jesus gave to her.
