I was given a book a couple weeks ago by one of our pastors to read. I knew I’d be coming back to California leaving yesterday so I saved it for the trip and plane ride. The books title is: People of the Second Chance. It is all about the authors life and learning to let God use what he thought he’d need to keep hidden. His story is far different from mine but many of the roots of tragedy and abuse are exactly the same. At one point I was going to tell Kathy about it to find if I talked I would just start crying. I said it would have to wait. 

The part of the book which I’m truly learning is real for me is just how much Satan doesn’t want anyone talking about their past to help someone with theirs. These strongholds are his handiwork. More than ever I’m convinced and committed to being Gods servant in this area. 

My sis is making good progress with her moving forward having lost her husband Randy. The service Saturday will be a celebration and I can see that she is ready now. As tough as loss is there is a beautiful reality waiting for us on the other side if Christ has been able to take the lead. I’m so glad Bonnie is at this place. To God be all glory.
