Story #119

On August 11, 2006, I delivered both of my husband & I’s stillborn twin girls, our 2nd pregnancy loss since we married in 2002. Three weeks later, my father-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma & the only “Dad” we would ever know & love died on December 6, 2006. The next 2 & 1/2 years were spent trying almost every way possible to escape the greatest hurt, anger, confusion, & despair we had ever felt through work & partying. It was early 2009 that I woke up & heard a voice calling me to let go of the past. I realized then that what I had been missing was the love & peace only Jesus can provide. I followed His calling by leaving behind my job, friends, city, & even my husband, who wasn’t yet ready to join me on my spiritual journey. I began coming to COTM with my mom & rediscovered the Lord & His path for me. One year later, I now know that I can survive ANYTHING with Christ as my Savior. And, my husband & I can’t wait to teach our son, due on April 16th, that very same lesson.
