Elizabeth
Darling: On the Right Path
Elizabeth Darling was moved by a sermon at a Baptist
church in Newark last Sunday about the struggles that
make you stronger. Ms. Darling had enough struggles to
turn her into Superwoman. She was the single mother of a
2-year-old boy. She feared being laid off from her job as
a business analyst at Marsh & McLennan, a financial
services conglomerate. She worried about her mortgage
payments. The daughter of a minister, Ms. Darling, 28,
was a spiritual person. She spoke to her best friend,
Toyia Burks, about the sermon, and was surprised to learn
that Ms. Burks had heard a similar sermon. It seemed to
tell Ms. Darling that she was on the right path. "She was
going through a lot of transition and just trying to find
a balance," Ms. Burks said. "She reached back to her
Christian roots."
