Karen White is truly a gift from God. Karen was the Minister of Health and Wellness at my church and fulfilled that mission with compassion, knowledge, and a high degree of professionalism. I was experiencing a great deal of turmoil from multiple sources and my faith was what got me through it. I vividly remember being at the end of my ability to cope. I called the church office to ask for help. Karen called me and listened – to a lot of pent-up anger, concern, fear, and angst. She listened some more. We prayed and she helped me process what I could control and what I needed to let God take control of. Karen gave me hope that I could handle this and that I was not alone on this walk. Her counseling was what got me through a very difficult period of my life. She approached the situation with such calmness but I learned that it was possible because she fused her deep faith with knowledge and experience from a whole-person health perspective as a nurse and Diaconal Minister. Karen maintained a high degree of confidentiality yet seemed to be there whenever I needed reassurance. I am forever grateful for the gift of Karen White!
