Friends in Faith: Trudy Harlow Dervan

I’ve known Trudy Harlow Dervan for more than ten years now. We’ve been in the same Bible study group, we’re involved in some of the same ministries, and I can tell you that she and her husband, Ed, know how to throw a great Christmas Eve party.

These days, Trudy is inspiring me by doing with grace something that’s very hard for me: recognizing a difficult situation and rather than gossiping and complaining, finding opportunities to infuse God. Trudy reminds me we won’t be judged by how well things are organized, but by how much we love.
