Mallory Jenkins<br />

I’m Mallory, a 23-year-old Daughter of Christ, born and raised in the<br />

Bluegrass, and now, newlywed!<br />

At the age of 20 my life shockingly ceased to a halt as I began<br />

the battle for my life against a rare pancreatic tumor, unrelenting<br />

pancreatitis, over 300 days without eating by mouth, total debilitation,<br />

major surgeries and my world forever changed by life threatening<br />

illness. In the depths of the valley I’ve learned to rely on God in ways I<br />

never thought possible. Though this time has been filled with miserable<br />

pain and great sadness, it has also been filled with the comforting<br />

embrace of a loving Savior and treasures that can only be found in<br />

the darkness. All this fighting to reclaim ME from disease and dying is<br />

culminating into something beautiful by the power of His grace.<br />

Still Waters is the song God has given me to sing, in hopes of bringing<br />

encouragement, joy, salvation and glory to Him who is worthy of ALL<br />

praise regardless of the circumstance. Walking by faith is the only path<br />

that can truly satisfy the emptiest spaces of your soul.<br />
