Before the last word left my lips, I could feel God drying the tears from my face, not a tear to be found.

God Raised Me From The Ashes

At the age of 17 I gave my life to Christ. I got on my knees then and promised that I would serve him the way he needed me. God was persistent to get me to that point. He never gave up on me. When I turned 15 he started sending people into my life who were pointing to him. It wasn't that I didn't want to, I was just unsure of what they were talking about. I had been raised in a denomination for a long time and thought I was already saved. I meant it when I told God I would serve him.

No words could describe it. When I woke, I was paralyzed with no voice, stuck to my bed. It felt like an eternity before I could move again. While still stuck, I screamed in my mind, “SATAN, GET OFF ME! YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER ME! IN THE NAME OF JESUS, LEAVE ME ALONE!”

I tried to talk him into putting the gun down, racked my terrified mind for the right words, anything to make him put down the AK47 he had pressed against his chin, finger on trigger, tears in his eyes. I remember standing there feeling an overwhelming sense of emotion.

Not living in denial, but dealing with it…

Acceptance is crucial during the recovery stage. Not living in denial, but accepting the daily challenges: occurring inside my body, coping with breathing issues on a daily basis, living with a pace maker, taking coumadin for the rest of my life, dealing with the discomfort in my chest.

I knew one day my son would return to The Word.

Two years ago Keith decided to steal my car and drive to Jacksonville, FL which is a 4 hour trip from my house. I was without transportation for 5 days. At the time I was fearful of Keith's safety, doing drugs and driving. There was no way for me to know where he was. I called all the hospitals in my area, no Keith. I called the jails in my area, no Keith.
