How do people end up this way? She was very poor to begin with. She’d been in and out of the shelter for a long period of time. Over the last year she became an alcoholic. Last year her mother died. The only other family member was a daughter. Just months after her mother died, her daughter was found dead in the woods. She had been raped and stabbed to death. Alcohol was her way to mask the pain. Her alcohol addiction only compounded the problems she hadn’t yet dealt with. She looked at me and said “Renee, I don’t want to be an addict. I just don’t want to feel this pain.” After a week in detox then the psych ward, I picked her up and brought her to Mt. Moriah for the weekend. While she was in the hospital we helped her make arrangements for rehab. She stayed with us over the weekend until her bed was ready at rehab. That Sunday she attended church with us. Church starts. We pray. We sing. During the second song I look to my left to behold a most beautiful sight… she was clapping, singing, smiling, praising! When I saw her at church today worshiping I lost it. I had to run to the back in tears I just couldn’t hold it. There it was. There was God’s Spirit I saw God healing a broken soul. I felt humbled before God and proud of being in his service. She is now in a 12 month recovery program at Teen Challenge. I’m so excited for her. I can’t wait to hear about all the things God does in her over the coming months.
