After being long time members of another church, 3 years ago my husband, daughter, and I visited COTM… and instantly fell in love with it. Two weeks later - our daughter left home for her freshman year of college. One month later - my husband and I joined COTM. One month after that - my husband of 26 years walked out and filed for divorce. We were shocked! Although we were just brand new members, COTM’s Pastoral Care staff prayed over us often and gave us wisdom to know how to deal with the many ugly aspects of divorce… and there were plenty. Interestingly, my daughters and I had NEVER felt the presence of God like we did during this time. 18 months later - the divorce was final. 4 months later - all day long I felt like there was something in my eye that I could not flush out. I woke up the next morning 100% blind in that eye. After running tests the eye doctor broke it to me, “What’s dead is dead.” I remember thinking, “Well, I do have another eye”…
