Matt wrote about the series we’re going through this next month.
As most of you know… I, too, am one who’s found my way back to God… and am constantly finding my way back to God.
Everyone is looking for something… we ALL want to find that “something”. And if you say you’re not, well… you’re either extremely unaware of yourself or just flat out lying.
We’re hosting 3 different stories from people at our church in this next series.
This first video is of Jessica… a woman (and now friend) I had been praying for LONG before I ever saw her face, met her in person, or embraced her.
What an amazing story! Praise God for deliverance and redemption of this sweet woman!
jess is pretty amazing. keep praying for the restoration of their marriage. her story will be continued in two weeks!
wow. that was crazy powerful. i look forward to hearing the other stories as well.

Yes, I’ve run. Actually, I think it would be more accurate to say I stomped away in a big huff. For years. So many regrets. Joy in knowing that it wasn’t wasted – wouldn’t be the me I am now if I hadn’t had those experiences. I’ve gone from victim to victorious. I’ve forgiven and been forgiven. I consciously choose, no matter how tough the struggle…I CHOOSE HIM. With ferocity and determination. He is worth it.
Cindy… thanks for delurking. I love reading comments and see what lives are intertwined with mine here.
You comment rings SO true with me. I could have said the exact some things you wrote.
Thank you for sharing here and speaking truth.
Wow. Her story is beautiful…amazing…hopeful. Hearing another uplifting story of God’s work with a prodigal is exactly what I needed to hear today. I LOVE hearing about God’s miracles–His love and His grace. Praying for His will for her…and for all of us.
God is in the business of miracles, isn’t He?
Keep praying for Jessica. She’s and amazing woman who’s finding growth in so many levels.
I have been there and wanting to run. I don’t understand it really. My whole life God has protected me (from the druggies & alcoholics that were “raising” me), nurtured me, and given me opportunities to succeed at life. Now I am “grown up”, I act like a child and try to hide from God.
i think we ALL do that, kevin. sometimes, all we need is for that inner child to be addressed. they need to know that they’re safe now.
just speaking from experience.
