A couple of months before our 2nd grandson was born, we received a frantic call from our son’s girlfriend. Someone called her and said our son was so high and out of it that he was standing on the balcony of the 3rd floor of a hotel in his underwear. They were able to get him down before he jumped. She and her friend picked him up and drove him to our house which was about an hour away. When he woke the next morning, he had no recollection of the previous night. He didn’t know he was home and was trying to figure out just how he had gotten there. This child has such a calling on his life that is so strong that God has delivered him from 3 near death experiences.
Someone may ask, well, why don’t you try rehab? We have. He walked away each time. But, I can tell you this, he is definitely covered in prayer. God keeps showing all of us, especially him, that He has him covered.
One evening, our middle child called. He was explaining to me that he had gotten pulled over by the police in a small town. The officer found some weed in his car, which he says was a friend’s whom he had let borrow his car the day before. While he was explaining the trouble he was in, another call was buzzing on my line. It was our youngest son. He and his girlfriend had gotten pulled over for a tail light. When they ran his license, he had a warrant for unpaid fines. The officer was arresting him. I hung up feeling so mentally exhausted. All I could do was ask God for help. You know what? He heard my cry. He delivered both boys from those situations.
My life has truly been a rollercoaster ride. Of course I hoped my life would be different at this stage. I thought I would be enjoying my husband more. I thought we would finally have a chance to travel, explore, be adventurous, and just enjoy being together.
I have been on the search for happiness and peace for a long time. The definition of happy is feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. By that definition, I can honestly say that I have been the complete opposite. Just going through the motions. Praying for peace and happiness to fall upon me.
My happiness has been interrupted for far too long. I have been allowing the devil to win while I sit along the sidelines and watch. I’m tired of my family being the underdogs. It’s time for a new play.
Put me in coach………..
Thank you so much for sharing and encouraging somebody (especially me) today who is on the verge of quitting, not turning their back on God per se’ but just shutting down, turning off the switch of faith, they’ve questioned if it’s even worth it. You are truly a blessing and I pray Gods continued blessings upon you and your family. Love you 😘
Thank you Kellye! We absolutely cannot quit! The enemy is trying so hard so that we will. He knows in the end we win! He doesn’t want us to experience our victory here on Earth. God moves through our Faith. It is definitely worth it!
Amazing. Someone out there is really going to appreciate your transparency. I love you and keep going! ❤️
Thank you!!!! I pray it does. I love you too!
Chanta, I realize this is a big leap for you. However, I truly believe that your blogging will most definitely help a lot of people.
We may look like the underdog; BUT GOD!
We definitely are not. Thank you!!!!
