Wang testified that she was able to endure through 10 years that was filled with difficulties because God was her strongest support. Every time she faces difficulties, she feels that God would tell her to be thankful under all circumstances. Every she prays, she will begin with giving thanks. She believes that all the experiences that God gives are good, because upon experiencing the sufferings, we become better than before.
