Abigail’s testimony:
“When I look back at my life before Christ, pain is the first thing that comes to mind. My life was marked with self-hatred that motivated most of my decisions. I considered su***de many times.
My world revolved around me and what I was feeling, how I would cover it up, and constantly trying to figure out how to make it better in my own strength. I spent a lot of time punishing myself, numbing the pain, and choosing the worst relationships. The only real dream I had was of motherhood. The moment it all changed was when I thought of bringing a child into the life I was living and it broke me. The Lord used the children I didn’t have at the time to save my life. I made the decision to turn to Jesus and go all in on Him. I laid down my mess of a life at the foot of the cross. Since that day my life has never been the same. I’m no longer the center of my story. The Lord is. His love is restoring me. He has covered me with grace and mercy. I’ve witnessed many miracles – two of them being my children I now have that He used just the thought of to save my life years ago. I’m married to a man of God by the loving grace of God. My life has not gotten easier since that day, but it is better. Even as I walk out a cancer diagnosis my greatest heart’s desire is to let this story be written by God and for God. He is the only one who can heal me and that alone makes Him so worthy. The Lord is increasing my faith. I’m learning more and more about his nature. This has been one of the most challenging seasons of my life, but I believe it’s a healing journey; not just physically, but also spiritually, mentally, and generationally. All of this is for more people to see him, know him and experience the life changing love of laying it all at his feet, at the foot of the cross. Jesus Wins is truly the headline of this story.” - Abigail
Abigail, aged 33, was healed on September 4, 2024 at her home in Auburn, AL. Her family was the most important thing to her and she is survived by her loving husband, Jason Walls and her two beautiful children who were the joys of her life, her daughter, Willow and her son, Luca, her mother, Rebecca Griffith; father, Brad Williams; sister, Amber Jordan; and brother, Aaron
Williams.
Born on April 21, 1991, Abigail's life was characterized by her devotion to her family and her faith. Her favorite thing in life was people. Abigail truly loved to just be in constant community
with others. If you knew her, you’d agree. Here’s what a few close to her had to say:
“Abigail was the type of friend that saw you through the eyes of Jesus, not others. She was non-judgmental and compassionate which allowed you to be your full transparent self around
her. She had the ability to lift you up when you were feeling down. She loved others and loved them well.”
“Abigail’s authenticity and vulnerability naturally drew people to her, and if you were blessed to be her close friend, you would experience a fierce love. Her calm, easy presence and
encouraging, honest words over my life have been like Jesus speaking truth over me.”
“She loved with every ounce of her being and she had such compassion for all people, always believing in the good for those around her.”
“Abigail had a way of finding a joke out of any situation to make people laugh. She didn’t even have to try, she was just unapologetically herself and that’s what I loved about her.”
“Abigail exuded joy and laughter. Her laugh will always echo in my head as contagious. She loved a joke and never met a stray.”
Her compassion for others overflowed into every area of her life including her choice of career in becoming a hairstylist. She cared deeply about those who had the privilege over the years to sit
in her chair, always wanting them to leave feeling better about themselves than when they first came in. She didn’t only see the best in people, she also had a deep affection for animals and
always took the chance to be surrounded by them. Every inch of her being exuded tender heartedness for all of God’s creation and those closest to her never doubted the love she had for them as she made sure to remind them of it often.
Although, Abigail, as she mentioned above in her testimony, battled a hard season of self doubt in earlier years of her life one thing is clear after watching her walk out this last season before going Home…she did NOT let her past define her and instead wanted nothing more than for everyone around her to witness that despite her sickness, she finally knew who God created her to be and the love He has for her and ALL of his children. If there is one thing she wanted to make sure that everyone remembers about her life, it’s this…
“Jesus Wins is truly the headline of this story.”
