Testimonies
Once there was a young woman, living a nightmare.
Every mothers worst nightmare, day after day.
Thousands of miles away from home, stranded, with no family or friends , and nowhere to run.
She found her way to church, and silently cried,and cried, and cried.
Every Sunday, in the darkest corner of the back row, oblivious to the Pastors message, the congregation, or the building. She simply sought a safe and private place to cry.
Somewhere between sobs she prayed, not really believing that anyone would hear, but daring to hope in maybe.
A series of coincidences began to align.
A Restraining order, homeless: with three children, and no income.
A house was for rent in the local community but, without income on paper, the landlord was disinterested in her application.
In court the judge made an error, instead of awarding child support he made a sizeable order for spousal support. Although no money ever came forth, on paper the court award secured their home.
The Victim Witness Councillor assigned to her family was, by complete chance, a personal friend of her attorney. Hand in Hand this 'Team' worked together to protect her children.
She still cried in church, but began to listen.
"Jesus", and the name grew louder.
She kept praying, and began to consider,'maybe.'
Christmas Eve, and a familiar face lighting candles in church.The C.P.S. supervisor for her children. She had never noticed him before, yet he attended every service. He graciously smiled and sat down with a woman assumed to be his wife.
After church he came over to talk, and introduced his friend: A blind woman he escorted to and from church. His Love was Jesus.
Through Court Visits and Sunday services he witnessed.
Little by little Faith began growing.
Bandaging her heart with Love.
Healing her children with Love.
Filling her emptiness with Love.
No sudden transformation, or miraculous visions,
just the gentle hands of God, molding a life......
......my life..... many years ago.
---------------------------
So much has happened since then: Good things, amazing things, sad things, and trials - but always and in all things, 'His Love'.
Jesus promises, Matt 17:20
'If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'
I believe this, with all of my heart, and I have seen the mountains move......
for the young woman crying in church.
