Tears to Joy

Mollie Ouellette was diagnosed with AIDS and given only two weeks to live by her doctor. However, through her faith in Jesus Christ, Mollie has experienced healing and has outlived that prognosis by over 26 years. Throughout her life, she has endured significant suffering and pain. Mollie lost her grandmother, Carmella, during her teenage years following the loss of her grandfather. She lost both of her parents 5 years apart to lung cancer. She has also faced abusive and unfaithful relationships, which made her afraid to be herself or fully commit until she met Jesus. His love transformed her heart and life, bringing her unspeakable joy. She was featured in DOZ Magazine in 2017 and will be in the upcoming 2025 issue. She has a bachelor’s degree in communications from Grand Canyon University on April 29, 2025. Mollie lives in Hornell with her son and nephew. She is also close to her family. She has five cats named Ruthie, Care Bear, Lovey, Fluffy, and Hannah. Mollie enjoys taco salad, pizza, and Italian food. She loves spending time with her loved ones and cats, writing her blog, shopping, traveling in her free time, and the beach. She hopes to visit the Bahamas someday. “I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story and inspire others to find solace and happiness in their lives.” Discovering God's love was a pivotal moment in my life. It enveloped me in comfort and instilled a profound sense of purpose. Through His grace, I found guidance leading me toward redemption and a renewed hope for the future. Embracing this love has transformed my journey, filling my heart with peace and the assurance of His everlasting presence.”
