Her life was changed forever when a bomb placed under the truck she was riding in exploded. In Crushed Dreams, she tells her story. This is a story of perseverance, and Omar narrates her long journey to recovery. She shares how she dealt with the pain and trauma and how she underwent many surgeries as she was determined to walk again, return to school, and make a difference in the world with her education. Nimo Omar was born in the small village of Garloguba in Ethiopia. She moved to the United States in 2006. She graduated from high school in Nebraska and attended St. Paul College, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and graduated in 2017 in Metro-State University, where she continues to live.

Download or read book Shattered Dreams written by Larry Crabb and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the Biblical story of Naomi, Dr. Larry Crabb shows you how to look through life's tragedies to see the lavish blessings God has for you in Shattered Dreams. “Shattered dreams,” writes Dr. Larry Crabb, “are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. The Holy Spirit uses the pain of shattered dreams to help us discover our desire for God, to help us begin dreaming the highest dream.” To help you understand this neglected truth in the deepest and most helpful way, author and counselor Larry Crabb has written a wise, hopeful, honest, and realistic examination of life’s difficulties and tragedies. He wraps these insights around the bold story of Naomi in the Bible’s book of Ruth. As Crabb retells and illuminates this sometimes disturbing and often profoundly touching story, we are shown how God stripped Naomi of happiness in order to prepare her for joy. And we gain an unforgettable picture of how God uses shattered dreams to release better dreams and a more fulfilling life for those He loves. Shattered dreams have the power to change our lives for good. Join Larry Crabb on a life-changing adventure to encounter God in the midst of life’s most difficult times, and learn to live beyond your Shattered Dreams.

Download or read book When Dreams Are Crushed written by Olga Altstatt and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Brothers Footsteps, The Battle Back is a poignant, heart- warming and sometimes funny accounting of my life. It tells of love, trust, fear, dismay and conquest. From a little boy with ADD learning life's lessons the hard way on the streets of New York, to a misguided troubled youth, to growing up in the prison system and then founding one of the most successful drug treatment programs for youth in the country. The story centers around my relationship with my older brother (by six years) who led me down the road of drugs, crime, and prison until I fought back with the help of a therapeutic community to become the person I am today. The book also serves as a reminder for parents and teachers of children with ADD and /or drug- related problems that something must be done immediately. The problems of ADD and drug abuse are devastating and, if not dealt with, can lead you through a lifetime of anguish and I know that the more we tell parents and teachers about these concerns, the easier it will be for them to recognize and deal with them. This book was written the way I speak, from the heart with the flavor of the streets in every word. I hope you enjoy it.

The authors explore medical studies and ongoing research on the diagnostic power of precognitive dreams, including Dr. Burk’s own research on dreams that come true and can be medically validated.
