Profile
Ana Coppeage is a 32-year-old woman trying to get through life one day at a time.
She is a single parent to a beautiful little girl named Emily living in a rural community
outside Oklahoma City.
Ana met the man of her dreams right out of college on her first day of work. A short
period of courting flew by and they were married within two years. Life was great. Everyone
always says your first year of marriage is the hardest, but Ana could never agree. She loved
her husband, Aaron more than life.
November before Aaron’s 30th birthday, he fell suddenly ill. After much testing, the
doctors found out he had a terminal tumor in his brain. Ana being six weeks pregnant was
overwhelmed with fear. Aaron died within three months of his diagnoses leaving Ana a
widow with an unborn child.
Ana has always been a Christian. After Aaron’s death she often questions her life and
why God would allow this to happen to her. She attends the Methodist Church every
Sunday and even sings in the Chancel Choir, which practices every Wednesday night.
Visual Concept
As they surged toward me, I knew instantly that all of them had died during my lifetime. Their presence seemed absolutely natural. They rushed toward me, and every person was smiling, shouting, and praising God.” Imagine being pronounced dead at the scene of a terrible accident and going to Heaven for 90 minutes. Don Piper experienced just that. What’s going to be your wake up call? Jesus chose the nails as a statement that proves it truly isn’t all about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.
