How does a girl, who grew up in Pennsylvania and Virginia on the eastern part of the United States, happen to have been born on the west coast? And how does a Mennonite girl, whose parents were Amish, end up a Charismatic? In her journey of faith, Elaine shows how the wind of the Holy Spirit blew throughout her life to bring her into more truth and freedom to give her a firm spiritual foundation. She struggled with questions. Are signs, wonders, and miracles still valid today, or have they passed away? Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit from God or the devil? Is it always God’s will to heal? Elaine faced rejection and struggled to find acceptance and approval in her quest for truth, but God was faithful to provide what she needed.
