Kathleen’s story of emerging from fear, an unwanted divorce, and people-pleasing into a deep, scripture-rooted identity in Christ becomes a vivid picture of Memorial Stone 10: Benjamin—Son (Daughter) of the Right Hand. Brenda traces how Kathleen learned to think it, see it, and say it—internalizing God’s Word until it transformed her from the inside out—and invites you to consider where God may be calling you to shift your gaze from the horizontal to the vertical.
