For years, Colleen Chao invited others into the story God was writing through her life, and it has become a beautiful testimony of His faithfulness in the midst of unimaginable suffering. Through her journey with singleness, depression, chronic illness, and, ultimately, a stage-four cancer diagnosis, she pointed others to the steadfast goodness of God with remarkable honesty, humility, and joy. In this special tribute from Revive Our Hearts, we remember a remarkable woman who lived Proverbs 31:25, “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come” (NIV). Colleen’s confidence did not rest in her circumstances, but in the fiercely tender hands of the God who held her every step until He called her home.
