Her call to serve leprosy patientsAt sixteen, she traveled to a leprosy hospital and saw patients without adequate care, which created a deep burden in her heart and led her to decide to become a doctor.
Choosing a penniless husbandAs a doctor who could have earned a high salary, she chose to marry a man with no salary, no bank account, and no organizational backing, whose only defining quality was his love for the Lord.
The medical exam failure that aligned their pathsThough top of her class in obstetrics, she was unexpectedly failed in her practical exam by a non-Christian examiner, which forced her to stay in Vellore for three more months where she met brother Watchman Nee and Zac Poonen.
Living with in-laws and hosting constant guestsWith no money for rent, they lived with his parents for the first four years, and she graciously cared for visiting relatives, church members, and foreign guests year after year.
Giving up her salary to raise their sonsAfter working one year at Christian Medical College to give her salary to support her eight younger siblings, she never earned another rupee as a doctor, choosing instead to dedicate her time entirely to her children.
Serving the church and facing daily pressuresWhile church meetings and fasting prayers filled their home multiple times a week, she faithfully cooked for strangers and managed household trials without complaint.
Triumphing in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationshipProving that New Covenant life can overcome common family frictions, she built a loving, lasting relationship with her own daughters-in-law and cared for Zac's mother in her old age.
What a husband learns only after his wife's deathPoonen reads a poignant reflection written by a man after losing his wife, realizing how much he had taken her daily patience, hidden sorrows, and quiet labor for granted.
An allegory of a mother's lifelong walkRecounting an allegory of a young mother guiding her four sons through hardships, character-building mountains, and spiritual battles, the message concludes with her receiving a crown of life.
