I pray that happy ending will come soon. Poor kid, she's been through so much. May the Lord's angels surround her and her daughter and guide them safely into the open arms of the heavenly Father.

Thanks Rulan.

The Lord isn’t finished with her yet.. I look forward to writing the happy ending someday.

will be praying for a happy ending someday too!

how is your friend Kay ?

take care

Thanks Janice!

Kay’s not doing very good. I saw her yesterday.

I will pray for both the lost girl and Kay! The Lord's peace be to them both!

Touching...moving. I've seen many kids like the one you described. Working with abused youth tears your heart out. We must pray for these beauties. These sad and rejected children who become sad and rejected adults.

Bonnie and Mimi - Thank you for your prayers!

There is so much heartbreak in the world, but even more miraculous moves of the Holy Spirit. Nobody’s lost until the fat lady sings. Even in coma at death’s door, people call out to Jesus. I know some who’ve lived to talk about it and others who find Jesus in the midst of Alzheimer’s.

He is a loving God!

David......how wonder how she would respond to getting together or even just talking with you or Darla...knowing someone has never stopped caring can penetrate the hardest of hearts and show them God's undying love...we are instruments of his love....will keep her and her daughter in prayer....thanks for sharing..
God Bless
Donna

Thanks Donna!

I don’t know why, but I felt God wanted me to share that story. He must have His reasons.

God bless you my good friend!

David, have you ever thought that's how God must feel when some silly human rejects Him and His Son? He can see so clearly what's missing but we are blind to it.

I am so sorry for her, but I know that some people have to go to the very bottom of the pit before they can look up.

You are so right.

My life has been one string of miracles after another since I hit bottom (hard) and looked up.

Sometimes we must go through the valley.


I had a friend pray for me for about years without my knowledge. He was in college back then and answered God's call to ministry. He works with college kids.

He had heard from me right after I accepted Christ in 1991 and then, through the grapevine, he heard about my divorce and my not so pretty slide into despair.

He looked me up last year when his dad died and he had to come home for the funeral.

Guess what he found? ;)

God is good and holds to His promises. "God is not willing that any should perish, but all should come to repentance."

Michelle, wow that was a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness in your life. My story (as you know) is much the same.

If it were not for the grace of God, I’d be toast.

When I look back on my young years (once a teenage runaway) I remember people praying for me. Not my family, but complete strangers, neighbors, coworkers who knew the Lord and knew I needed Him. I thought they were nuts at the time, but how thankful I am that they persisted on my behalf.

We'll keep praying. God is still writing the story.

Vicki, my story was very similar to yours.

If the Lord hadn’t given me a Damascus road kind of revelation, I’d be dead or wishing I was. Yet even after God’s mighty demonstration in my conversion, my dysfunction remained until I hit bottom again.

It cost me everything, but that 2nd, “2nd chance” is what finally transformed my life. Since that day back in the mid-late 80’s my life has soared up and up.

I am believing the same thing for the young woman I wrote about. Lord, transform your servant. Set her free!

Thanks for the prayers and the compliments. I’ll take either one anytime.
