He is an awesome God, and has proved that to me over and over. So forgiving when we make mistakes, always waiting to welcome us home when we stray. Blessing to you and your children, Lila.

My children's dad died when my kids were 15 and 12 and I was 33. I was never mad at God but was mad at my husband (as if he could help it) for leaving me to raise 2 children which our 15 year old daughter was already rebellious. Their dad was the srict one and I was more lenient with them. After he died, I felt sorry for them so when they each turned 16 I gave them way too much freedom, they came and went as they pleased. Oh, I try to be strict, but it was too late, I had let them get out of hand. I could tell you stories that would give you chills, because you know that only God could have been involved, but it is way too long. To make a long story short (and by the way, they never got on drugs)when you see your children heading in the fast lane of destruction, if that does not bring you to your knees then I can't imagine what would, but it did me. I knew that I had not brought them up the way the Lord would have me too. He didn't not have to answer my prayers but thankfully He did. My children are no where perfect but they grew up into responible mother's and fathers and I am so proud of them, but I have to give credit where credit goes and that is to my Heavenly Father because they were headed for trouble or death. Glory to God that is able and capable of anything He wants to do. May God bless your ministry. Lila Scott I too have been through many of life’s storms.
