Synopsis

When Matthew was thrown in jail on July 21, 2001, I had mountains of feelings. I knew his life was coming to a boiling point. With drugs, alcohol, stealing and living the wild life he had chosen to live, it couldn’t and wouldn’t last long. Not with the promise God had given me for his life.

This was a promise I was soon going to question. I would even question the very existence of a loving, kind God whom I had believed in all my life, and had raised my children to believe in.

Soon, way too soon, my faith would be put to the ultimate test. Do I truly believe? Is He really a God of love and mercy? How could He be so cruel to those He’s supposed to love so much?

Today, I know the answer to these questions, without any doubt. This is my journey.

About the Author:

I have been a follower of Jesus Christ since the age of 9. I am a mother of two children and a grandmother of 1, so far. The Lord has blessed me through the years to be a surrogate mother to many teens, lost and unwanted souls or those who simply had no one else. I have a degree in Biblical Studies and I am the office manager at Lael College and Graduate School. I am a volunteer in the lighting department of my home church and in our T.V. ministry, Principles for Life. I live in the country on eight beautiful acres with my husband of 29 years. Our home is our place of peace and security and in these walls abide the Holy Spirit. I look out my windows and I am inspired every day by the beauty and blessings of heavenly Father.
