Isabella truly believes that God can use our suffering to shape our character for eternal value and His glory.
Isabella truly loves people. Her life’s calling is to be in this profession which she views as her vocation.
She especially feels called to work with people suffering from traumatic life experiences. As she likes to say,
“Life at the best of times can be difficult, however it is not our difficulties that define us, but the resilience we display
in how we choose to deal with the difficulty we are presented with.”
She lives her life filled with hope, and one of her favourite passages of Scripture is Job 14:9,
“At least there is hope for a tree. If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail.
Yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant.”
