Andrew Laparra was kind enough to give us an extended version of This Was Grace, with more of Dianne’s story and testimony. This version is 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
On this Mother’s Day 2010, I’m particularly aware of and grateful to God for the preciousness of a God-centered wife and mother.
Dianne makes a brief reference to her health in this video, which is stable. And be sure to watch to the very end for a special surprise.

Dabbing my eyes here.
Be encouraged dear brother and sister – I posted this on facebook and many of my friends from my previous church, people who have never heard of this kind of radical God-centered perspective – are weeping and rejoicing with you. They are posting it on their pages and a passion for the supremacy of God in all things is spreading through your precious testimony. You and your family are a gift to the entire body!!
The extended version is a powerful treasure!
Thank you . A beautiful testimony. A beautiful family. I understand . I appreciate your faith and eloquence in expressing it.
