The trick, she discovered, was to sing a little louder in choir, study a little harder at school, and smile a little wider with friends. Then no one would notice how damaged her heart was.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Kim became a classic overachiever academically and socially. As an adult, she could even speak before crowds with her mask fully intact. But she could not hide from the pain of her past, and pain that expressed itself through anorexia and diet pill addiction, loneliness, depression, and anxiety attacks.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In her transparent story, \u003ci\u003eBurdens to Blessings\u003c\/i\u003e, Kim invites you along her journey from shame and sadness toward healing and hope. In the process you will encounter the upside-down truth that God uses you because of your hurt and uncertainty. The very things you regret the most—the things you hope no one ever discovers about you—are what God wants to use to enrich your life and the lives of others around you.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Discover the confidence and courage to quit hiding and show your true self to God and others. Then watch out, because you will be showered with opportunities beyond your wildest dreams to help other hurting people change their burdens to blessings.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eKim gives us the path and the courage to hand over our burdens to God who not only heals our hurts, but also blesses those burdens by using them to give hope to others.\u003cbr\u003e — \u003cb\u003eTina Pagano\u003c\/b\u003e, wife of Chuck Pagano, head coach, Indianapolis Colts\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe moment I met Kim, I felt \u003ci\u003esafe\u003c\/i\u003e.
