It was one year ago today that I came before you asking for prayers for my daughter, Christina, who had been involved in a head-on collision with another car. My daughter was a social worker for hospice for 10 years and was using alcohol to deal with her anxiety and inner struggles and on this day she was drinking coming home from a hospice visit and caused the wreck that injured an elderly couple. You rose to the occasion and today marks her one year "Happy Birthday" anniversary celebration of sobriety.
My family is grateful for all the prayers that have been given up on our behalf. I am grateful for the advice of friends that helped determine the necessary course of action and for those that continually remember our family in prayer as things have evolved over the past year and will shortly come to a final conclusion...from a legal standpoint anyway.
Christina was charged with 4 felony counts (injury/DUI). The couple has recovered and they won a multi-million dollar civil lawsuit against her former employer. They told Christina through their civil lawyer that they forgive Christina and are praying for her, which meant a lot and has helped her to forgive herself for being responsible for their injuries.
Christina has 2 children aged 4 and 7 who she left to do rehab in March of last year for one month. She has faithfully attended Alcoholics Anonymous and is learning how to live life sober. She says the most important thing she has learned is to live in the moment, which opens up a whole new way to live life...much different than how she was living. She is in counseling and after 10 months went to a chiropractor and discovered she had chipped her tailbone in the accident. This has been a very LONG year for my family but God has been faithful and healed so much that was broken.
Her husband has also attended Al-Anon and he is learning valuable insights into how to live with someone that has abused alcohol. He also accepted the Lord as his Savior this year which is such a blessing. There is much healing and growth.
Her case is scheduled to come before a judge in March. We are praying that God will be merciful and that she will not go to prison. There is certainly earthly justice but we are praying for God's heavenly mercy that will allow her to remain with her family. She has beome stronger over the past year and is prepared to accept whatever the future holds but we know our God is able to do exceedingly more than we can ever imagine.
I ask for your continued prayers as March approaches and I thank you all for your prayers and lovingkindness toward me and my family. God never promises a life without struggle...but He assures us that He is carrying us through to the end and He is the healer of broken hearts and dreams. It is so wonderful to bask in the everlasting love of our Abba...His faithfulness cannot be measured. Thank you all for being there...prayers have been answered.
Happy Birthday Christina...one year sober with many more to come!
Holy Father, make that year the first of many to come and let Christina know how much You love her and her family.šš»š
Thank you for your continual prayers Penisse...they have made a difference...I am very grateful...you are a good, faithful friend...God bless you and yours...
God chose You as a great benevolent person, I have to honor His choice, LQdy!šš»š
ā¤ļø...š...you always make my heart happy...you are a blessing...
""Thank you for your continual prayers Penisse...""
See this right here is what makes g a w just so f****** top flite. Also your daughter has a mom like you and also all the prayer warriors here so she'll be fine. It's all in God's hands. Also kek once again for good measure. Penisse kek.
Well...you are right...Penisse has a very generous heart for praying for those of us in need...that certainly makes him and all those who care about each other special. I shared this with my daughter to encourage her that there were caring, loving people in the world...even if we don't know who they are...it meant a lot to her to see the encouragement and prayers...thank you...
Praying for Christina, her husband, their children & you dear Tweety! God has walked with her every step and she has achieved a hard fought victory. His Mercy helped the couple to heal and forgive her, her sobriety and lifted your family during this year... I'm praying for His Tender Mercies to be with you all and the Judge in her March hearing. Hugs to you all! ššš
Thank you so much for your prayers and your positive faithful attitude...your joy and love always shine so brightly...I am blessed by your prayers...God bless you and yours...we all have struggles...
Please give us/me an update in March... blessings to your family tweety!š
This.

You are certainly a person of few words...but emojis can be very effective...š¤£...brought a smile to my face...
Apologies, Sometimes i just cant find the right words to express my feelings at that time...šš¤š
No...really it was a very pleasant respite from words...I understand completely and I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated it...š...a change of pace so to speak...
ššš»
This is good to hear. I remember your post, and my comments about AA and how it changed my life for the better.
Christina continues to be in my prayers fren.
Thank you for your encouragement...it is exciting to see the introspection and growth that comes as they work through the 12 steps. It is a great blessing to have people who have been where you are at to light the path to healing. You are appreciated...hard to believe a year has come and gone...God bless you and yours, friend...
Now with 35 years clean and sober, I will tell anyone that I didn't do it alone. I have a loving God and all my friends in AA who helped me along the way. Now I sponsor five other guys who are newer to the program and I try my best to keep my spiritual house in order.
If I could tell a newcomer only ONE thing (and I have told many of them this), it is DON'T PICK UP THAT FIRST DRINK. I spend most of my energy in AA simply not taking the first drink. As our literature from the 1940s (the "Big Book") says, the first drink sets up a new craving that cannot be satisfied. I know this is true because I had to test it myself back 35 years ago. So I work the First Step every morning to remind myself that I am powerless over alcohol and that my life used to be unmanageable, and I ask my Higher Power to help me stay sober today.
That's my best AA advice in a nutshell. Other things are to keep going to meetings, have a sponsor to call frequently, and help others. But the paragraph above is my advice to people who want to keep it simple.
Thank you...invaluable advice...from a "pro"...it truly is "One Day at a Time"...
Iāve been noting that it seems to be the case that there has to be a constructive alternative, because sin removed and replaced with nothing seems to leave a vacuum.
Is that something thatās taught there? Itās seemed to be effective with me.
(āThanks, Saul Alinsky!ā)
In my long-time understanding of recovery (from alcohol and drug abuse) is something that the co-founder of AA, Bill Wilson, discussed in correspondence with the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung. In one of the letters Jung sent Bill, he said that all humans have a need for a spiritual fulfilling, and if that spiritual filling is not met, they will fill it with other things, like alcohol. Jung said that it is no coincidence that we call alcohol "spirits"... because it is a poor and cheap substitute for real spiritual fulfillment.
So AA is not solely about stopping alcohol drinking, it is an entire way of life and a spiritual program that says, no matter how far down the scale you have gone, there is a place for you in AA.
The stories I have heard from people in AA would curl your hair, and most average folks would scarcely believe they happened at all. I know a man who spent 16 years in prison for a murder he could not recall doing because he was in a blackout. I know people who had lost everything, but are now walking, talking, and laughing miracles.
Drink and drugs are just a symptom of spiritual sickness and a life out of control. Only after the drugs and alcohol are no longer in charge, people in recovery can then set about rejoining the human race as productive and valued members. By working the 12 Steps of AA, people become whole again and even the most devout former atheist can become a spiritual believer.
I've seen it happen.
Halleluyah!!
Congratulations TNBM!! What an accomplishment!! God bless you for helping others find the path!
Happy Birthday, Christina!! Huge accomplishment & I'm so proud of you. I have 2 children that are recovering addicts, my son remains locked in the lifestyle trying to stay clean but afraid to fully leave the life & deal with his real issues. The other is my daughter, Becky, who has had cancer twice in 11 years, has 2 children that we took in while she finally went to a 15 month long treatment program & has now been clean for nearly 6 years. She graduated in May with her LADC & is working with ex-cons, helping them to learn to live a clean & sober life. God has been so good to her & itās been the greatest testimony just to watch her living her life.
Thereās so much more to her story but this post is about Christina. May God hold her in His hand as she walks forward. Shes doing the hard work just by staying sober during this hard time. God will continue to give her strength, all He asks is that she reach out for His hand. Gods blessings!!
Thank you so much for sharing a mother's heart...the pain AND the joy...I understand your life completely and I am so happy to know of your daughter's success. There is always hope...I have other children that abuse alcohol so I am always in prayer for them. This is very hard work and I am so blessed to see my daughter's choice to live life to the fullest...God is SO good...I pray that your son will be successful as he tries to maintain a clean lifestyle...and for your family...the ups and downs...but always in God's hands and according to his perfect timing. God bless you and yours...
Thank you for sharing Christinaās story. While itās difficult for a mother to write it down, we never know whose life we are touching once itās told. My Becky got cancer the 2nd time after she was clean for 3 years. She was engaged to a wonderful man, also a recovering alcoholic (5 yrs) who is very active in AA. They got married after her bilateral mastectomy & chemo/radiation treatment & have been reaching for the stars since then. Iām not saying itās all been easy. They both leaned heavily on God & sheās cancer free now for 2 years. If you asked them they would both tell you that God & family support is what has brought them through their recovery. God is so good to His people. He loves each & every one of us beyond our imagination. I cannot even fathom a Father that loves my children more than I do! But I know itās true.
You are so correct that God loves us all even more abundantly and perfectly than our own human emotions are capable of. I am so proud of your daughter and I know there is total healing for your son. And I do know it is never easy...you are good to be so loving and supportive...it takes a toll...I certainly understand.
My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March of last year so that was an added stress but as much as I hate the fire of refinement that God allows...it really does make us stronger and more dependent on his love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and healing. God is just so good...He is everything we could possibly ever need...or want...just to bathe in His lovingkindness and mercy...what a tender touch of the Master's hand can do...that is the love of God...my prayers for your family Jewel...you are so loved...
This conversation has been such a blessing to me. Thank you for your openness & honesty. Itās really difficult to find people who are willing to be honest about the people they love, yet be honest about the hurt theyāve cost others. God doesnāt expect us to be perfect, just to be in His light & ask for guidance. I see that in your posts. Thank you for your live for Christina & the kindness youāve shown me & my beautiful daughter, Becky! God bless, Julie
Listen...please feel free to DM me anytime with your prayer requests, thoughts or feelings. We all need one another...life is so difficult when we are isolated due to circumstances. Last year when I first posted I was somewhat embarrassed to share all the facts...especially about my daughter's culpability but now I see the hand of God in this and it gives me confidence to know that it is the truth that sets you free.
Jesus never demeaned the woman at the well for her lifestyle...rather He met her where she was and promised her living water. Believe me I hate pain and correction, as we all do, but I praise God for the freedom that only He can offer. Flowers never grow without rain. You are in good hands when the creator of all things is directing your path.
We have some very loving and beautiful prayer warriors on GAW that really care about people. We are ALL sinners saved by the grace of God and we all suffer from the same malady...sin. But God is good and gracious and knows our every need even before we ask.
Becky is an inspiration...her success and ministry speaks of a heart that has been changed by the power of God. And your support for your children speaks of your love. I used to do a prison ministry and there is not a more appreciative and hungry bunch of fellows...please keep in touch...we are truly in the same boat...recovering our lives from the deceiver...but greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world...God bless you richly...
Wow, I don't think I saw your post last year, but this is a very touching story and I have a lot of respect for you in being able to share it. Even though I'm sure your family has had unbearable stress over the past year it appears there will be a good ending. Christina is very fortunate to have you as such a supportive parent and I am confident she will have many more sober bdays to come. Hang in there and know that your frens here on GAW will continue to pray for you and your family.
Thank you so much for your encouraging support. Anyone with children understands the ups and downs of parenting...the hardest job in the world. I just hope our good ending is the same one that God sees...these are difficult times for so many...our only answer is total surrender to God. Life is always a learning curve and I know so many suffer from addictions so I hope others can be encouraged...God is faithful and desires us to live in freedom from addiction...God bless you and yours...
I will be praying for the Lord above doesnāt give us what we deserve. Jesus paid the price. It seems you like me have learned to trust God completely because without Him we would not make it. Blessings!
Amen...thank you so much to agree in my prayer...God bless you and yours...
God bless you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Iām sure itās been a long year for all of you. But you have a silver lining from your grief. Your son in law is now saved. There is a chance at your daughters hearing the judge will see the progress she has made and will allow her to stay with her children and supportive family to continue to heal
Having worked in nursing homes in the past I know how emotionally it affected my life when I lost a patient. I canāt imagine working in a hospice program where all your patients are dying. Although I never turned to drugs or alcohol to get through my emotions I can see where someone else might
I will pray your daughter stays sober the rest of her life and lives as a Christian example for your two grandchildren under her care
Thank you for your understanding...hospice is certainly one of those high stress jobs...she is now working at Chick-fil-A for $12.00 an hour...and she has a Master's in Social work...what a change...BUT there is no stress and surprisingly this is the job God provided. Life certainly is strange but God has provided and He will continue to do so. Thank you for your prayers...I wholeheartedly agree...God bless you and yours...
There is a reason for every season in our lives and perhaps the uplifting atmosphere of Chick-fil-A will be a balm to her spirit and help her find happiness in her daily work life...
Well...it is difficult to have a "career" when you may be sent to prison but truthfully no one would hire her because of the felony charges...the lady that hired her was glad to hire her and is working with her schedule. Christina is also babysitting and cleaning houses to make some money. I am visiting her now and this is certainly what works for right now. They are busy working hard. Her counselor is encouraging her to look toward getting her LADC that was mentioned in an earlier reply. She loved hospice but cannot deal with that at this time. We will see what tomorrow holds...this job WAS an answer to prayer so there is that...it is a season of life for sure...
šš
Thank you, dear Abba Father, for using this near-tragedy to draw Christina and her family closer to you. Thank you for your faithfulness and lovingkindness toward the injured people, and thank you for causing your healing to continue for all involved and for their loved ones. Hallelujah. Amen.
Your prayers are SO appreciated...God is good ALL the time...I pray his blessing on you and yours...it is so good to see God make lemonade out of lemons...
So glad to hear that the people she had the accident with didn't get seriously hurt, and that your daughter has had such a great turn-around in her life! I will pray that the judge is merciful and will see that prison would not do anyone any good in this situation!
And I will agree in prayer...thank you...God bless you and yours...
The lord works in mysterious ways. Good luck and continued blessings. Keeping the head up is difficult in challenging times, but it sounds like yours is.
Haha...typing words on a keyboard does not equal the reality of life...but I sure appreciate your insight...the Lord certainly has provided this past year...the needs were so great...but then again our God is an awesome God...and Jesus NEVER fails...thank you for your well wishes...
A year already? Wow. Praise reports strengthen our faith, so thank you.
Prayers up and blessings to you and yours.
Time flies when you're having fun...or something like that, right????
I accept your prayers and blessings...we are God's hands, feet and heart on this earth...God bless you and yours...thank you...
First of all, I appreciate and respect you (tweety51A) as one of the consistent Christian voices here on GA. Your faith in the Lord is unwavering and is truly an inspiration to all of us that love our Lord Jesus.
While we don't understand many of the things that come our way in life, I can tell you (from personal experience) that trusting and obeying the Lord is the way to go no matter what. He loves us all and wants us only to accept Him and follow Him.
It is great to hear that Christina's husband has accepted the Lord - it will strengthen him for the road ahead (whatever that entails).
I join you in prayer that the Lord's will be done with respect to Christina's legal matters. My He see fit to spare her from time in prison so she can look after her young children at home. But whatever the outcome is, that she may continue a life of sobriety and be an good example of what a Christian mother is for the sake of her two kids.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Please surround this family with Your love and mercy. Strengthen them in faith in their hour of need. May Your will be accomplished in their lives and may Your name be praised. Bless also the injured couple, heal their broken bodies and let them see the love of Jesus Christ even in the midst of this terrible situation.
Bless tweety51A - may she feel an extra measure of Your lovingkindness as she goes forward to serve You in 2024.
We thank you for loving us in spite of our failures. Strengthen and guide us through this life until we meet You face to face. Praise Your wonderful name. Amen.
Oh my...what a blessing your thoughts and prayer are...you are so right...
"I can tell you (from personal experience) that trusting and obeying the Lord is the way to go no matter what. He loves us all and wants us only to accept Him and follow Him."
Amen and Amen and Amen...thank you...God richly bless you and yours MilitaryJustice...we are all in this thing together...it's called "life"...
Just so you are aware. This post can easily allow others to figure out who you are having used her name & being able to look up scheduled felony hearings.
Inam so glad that she is recovering & it is a lifelong recovery, or a lifelong daily choice to remain sober. You & your family will remain in our prayers my friend & I pray God walks with your entire family & keeps them safe & close to him.
Thank you for the warning...I am probably too naive and trusting...she certainly has discovered many things about herself that needed to be addressed...thank you for your prayers...we certainly need them all...God bless you and yours...
Iām so happy for you and your family, and God showed up! He showed up big time.
So Heavenly Father we ask you to show up one more time in a big way. We ask that you go before Christina and fight her battles here on this earth, and help her to move forward with the life that she is showing that she has been repentant from - and help her to move forward with her family and her children and her husband. We beg for your mercy, Lord - and are expecting a full report from Tweety, in the near future. In Jesus name amen.
Thank you so much...I agree with your prayer...we are all dependent on God's mercy...God bless you and yours...
Not only is this the year that is the anniversary of your original post, itās the year anniversary where we became friends. So much more will come out of this turn of events. I am grateful. ššš
As am I...
Make new friends but keep the old...
One is silver and the other gold.
So simple but so true...you have been a good friend...it was hard losing my best friend Sandy July 9th but you really helped me work through my sadness over her death. God always knows what we need when we need it and because of your encouragement I am in a much better place...that is what friends do...and you have certainly earned your title of good and faithful friend...š...thank you...ā¤ļø...
Oh, how sweet Iām gonna cry now. Happy tears though. Love you and have a great day.
I love your sweet servant's heart...what a blessing...
u/tweety51A you have shared such an important message. After reading your post, I am so grateful that your daughter and the others involved in the accident are alive. While it was a tragedy for sure, God's first blessing was survival.
The other thing that sticks out to me is how life comes at us hard and fast out of nowhere sometimes. The entire covid plandemic, vaxx bioweapon, and social fabric disruption was nothing I ever could have expected. At least, I couldn't expect to know the death and loss of loved ones due to these events, the way I feel them now having personal experiences like so many others.
The most important message you delivered, and reminded me of, is your expression of the most important form of Love.
I thought I knew what love was at a very young age. The first girl that made eyes at me? I loved her for sure. My first girlfriend? Oh, I loved her for sure. I told her all the time. When I found the one? Oh, I definitely knew what love was then. I got down on a knee for her! I even bought her a ring!
Yes, I knew what love was. I had it all figured out.
And then, it happened. We had our first child. We've been blessed with four.
It was at this precise moment that I found a whole new love I never new before.
What love was this?
UNCONDITIONAL Love.
I knew at the moment of my first child's birth that I would do anything and everything the rest of my life to love them no matter what. There would be absolutely NOTHING that could stop my love. My children could fail miserably and I would never stop loving them. They can succeed wildly and that will not make me love them more, I already love them completely, there is no more room for more love, the cup overflows already.
I never knew this love before children. I thought I knew what love was all my life. But when you have children, you gain a full and complete understanding of Unconditional Love.
You know who else has Unconditional Love for us?
The Lord does.
God loves us so much he gave his only son to die for us. Imagine giving up your child? He did this to guarantee eternal life for all of us who believe.
What's better than Uncondtional Love? Nothing, except one thing.
Eternal Unconditional Love.
Eternal Unconditional Love is the most powerful and longest lasting. It is the perfect love of all loves. This love comes naturally as a parent for our children, but we can CHOOSE to have this love with our loved ones as well. There is no other love so powerful.
Whether any of us chooses to share this Unconditional love to others is our choice. You clearly have this Unconditional Love for your daughter. God Bless You for this understanding and generosity.
For those without children, or for those who do not yet know Unconditional Love, please know that if you put your Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, he will relentlessly hunt you down with his love for you.
No matter what you've done, no matter what you do, there is nothing you can do to run or hide from the Lord's love for you. Whether you are lost or found, whether you have your act together or you are completely broken down, the Lord has you. He wants you. He is pursuing you. He will never give in, He will never give up. There is nothing you can do, good or bad, to stop the Lord from loving you. The Lord Our God holds the ultimate NCSWIC. If you choose to Believe, He is coming after YOU.
Luke 15: 4-7
And Jesus said...
I hope every single person reading this comment pauses life to listen to this song. For those of faith, I hope it strengthens you. For those who are lost, I hope this message finds you. For those filled with hate, sadness, or anger, I hope it extinguishes your pain.
At some point in life, every one of us is the lost sheep.
I want to remind you, HE IS COMING AFTER YOU!
Relentless Love
I thank you so much for your answer...such an encouragement and such insight into love...especially God's everlasting love. I am going to show these posts to Christina to encourage her and I know how much she will be touched by your precious, Godly thoughts.
I have 5 children...Christina is middle girl and middle child born on Friday, July 13th. I distinctly remember being pregnant with my 2nd child and holding my first...wondering how I could ever love the new baby as much as I loved the first...BUT...then I discovered the miracle of love...it is the only thing in this world that you can give away and still keep...it multiplies on its' own...
"Love wasn't put in your heart to stay...
Love isn't love 'til you give it away."
Your observations about Love are so spot on...God's eternal, unconditional love is unique to God and can never be found except by knowing God who is love...who created love and who demonstrated love in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us...
Thank you for the song...music is my thing...God bless you and your family richy...thank you so much for your wise words...
You are most welcome u/tweety51A!
I will continue to hold you, Christina, your family, and everyone else involved in my prayers. šš»
No matter what happens, God Unconditionally and Relentlessly Loves You, Christina, and your entire family! He will never stop fighting for you!
ā¤ļøšš»ā¤ļø
A robust Amen from the peanut gallery!!!!!
Warms my heart! Thank you tweety51A!!! ā¤ļøšš»ā¤ļø
Blessings to you and your whole family. Seems like it brought you all closer to God and to each other. I pray for every person involved.
Thank you...I believe disaster can make you or break you and in this case it is bringing healing...for Christina and for all the family. This has certainly brought alcohol abuse awareness to the forefront of our family gatherings/discussions. There is still a long journey ahead for our family but at least we are headed in the right direction. God bless you and yours...
Thank you for the update Fren and praying the courts have mercy and a bout of Devine intervention!
Thank YOU for your prayers...God bless you and yours...
Prayers sent for you and your family. May you all continue to feel His presence and may He be merciful with this earthly judgment. š
Amen...from your mouth to God's ears...we all certainly benefit from God' love, mercy and grace...it is a journey and God has been with us every step of the way...God bless you and yours...
This brought tears of joy to my eyes. I'm so happy for Christina and your family. š š sent
I have cried MANY tears...a mixed bag of joy and sorrow and I am glad to say the sorrow has become a distant memory and the tears of joy and pride in accomplishment have overcome the darkness of the soul that comes with sorrow. Jesus said "I am the light of the world"...in Him is no darkness...and I want more of that...which He freely gives...thank you for your prayers...much needed...
Prayers to her and the whole family. Hoping for the best
Thank you...that is my hope...
She is born again.
Yes my daughter is a Christian...had a good hard look at her beliefs after all this...as we all have...God is certainly not shy about letting us know what needs to be improved or corrected in our lives...but always in the context of love...
Only when you ask.
Those 12 steps changed and shaped my life. My heartfelt prayers and love coming your way. 14 years now for me. Tell her to NEVER give up and never give in...GIVE EVERYTHING TO GOD and stay humble and grateful and life is so good because I'm sane. ššššā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤
Thank you for sharing...what an inspiration to know that this is worth it all and that so many have been positively impacted by AA. Even in a year she can see and feel the shift...the change in thought...the victory...this is so life-changing....our family appreciates your wisdom, love and prayers...God bless you and yours...
ššššā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤WWG1WGA
God bless you NanaQ45...she was blessed by your testimony...
I hope God continues to bless and those blessings help your family get past this. I am sure many more blessing for you and your family awaits. in Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you...God has never let me down yet...
I remember your prayer request and am so happy for her and for you and the family. I will keep you all in my prayers. Thanks for the update too.š
Thank you so much for your prayers...this is when we are strongest...when we lift each other up in prayer and agree together in prayer...Satan becomes powerless at the name of Jesus...God bless you and yours...
Prayer works and God is faithful. When the answer is "yes" we rejoice and sing praises to Him. Sometimes the answer is "no" and we wonder why but God sees the end from the beginning and we don't know what lies in the future for us. It could be a worse outcome! Thankfully yours was answered YES!
Yes...we see the back of the tapestry and it is a mess...but God sees the beautiful design of the tapestry from the front...and this is why we need to trust God in all things...He will work it out for good for those who are called according to His purpose...we walk by faith, not sight...God bless you and yours...
You have no idea how much this testimonial means to me as I am about to embark on my own adventure into sobriety at 57yo, first time since I was 18yo. I have made a plan for success. I hope to have some praying for me along the way, too. I am both scared and excited. Also very nervous. But above all, I have gathered my strength in God and will be praying mightily that His will be done.
I will add your family to my prayers. May God bless us all.
Yes...as you can see there are some success stories among the prayer warriors....we will be sure to keep you in our prayers...
Dear Lord....I pray that you will give our dear sister in Christ the proper knowledge and motivation to move toward a life of freedom and understanding against the scourge of alcoholism. You tell us that " He whom the son sets free is free indeed" and we want this for our dear sister...be with her every step of the way...surround her with like minded people to teach by example and to encourage her. You love us more than we can even imagine and you desire our good health and happiness. We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus...who has walked the path of temptation before us...may we always give you the glory, honor and worship that is yours alone...Amen
Prayers on the way fren.
So appreciated...thank you...
