Summary

Iโ€™m Lynn. As a shy Navajoโ€‘reservation kid I only wanted life to be easyโ€”but God chose โ€œextreme.โ€ ๐Ÿššโ€ฏA midnight crash smashed my face and teeth; atโ€ฏ28 a brainโ€‘stem tumor threatened to kill me; atโ€ฏ51 an unknown disease ate a silverโ€‘dollar hole clear through my cheek. Every mirror showed new scars, yet every dawn I whispered, โ€œThisโ€ฏis the day theโ€ฏLord has madeโ€ฆโ€ ๐Ÿ“– When doctors finally halted the destruction, Jimโ€ฏandโ€ฏIโ€”now 64โ€ฏ&โ€ฏ58!โ€”heard God invite us to film missionary stories worldwide. ๐ŸŽฅ Terrified but trusting, we launched Creativeโ€ฏImpactโ€ฏMinistries, proving that age and brokenness are playgrounds for His creativity. Today I rejoice in the face that tells His rescue, the camera that tells His miracles, and a future that stays exciting until Heaven. ๐Ÿ™Œ

As a child, all Lynn wanted was for things to be easy. Her reality has been the exact opposite, as sheโ€™s faced a series of extraordinary challenges that have tested her body, her faith, and even her life. All the adversity has led her to a life today that she never could have imagined.
