I praise God that I was directed to this pastor through the KZfaq channel Jason A! I have been a Christian since I was at least 6 years old. Although, I never stopped believing, I definitely fell away. My youngest child I call blessed. Everyone likes him. Athletic, intelligent, got into almost every college he applied to (11), has traveled the world, at 27 (last wk), has a great career. He has never faced true adversity. My daughter, 32, was always difficult. Teachers didn’t like her, had a tough time making friends. She was an incredible athlete and tested gifted as a child, yet barely made it through high school. She became an opiate user in college that led to heroin addiction. She has been on methadone for 7 years. That did not make me completely give my life to God. She told me three years ago that she was gay. As I sought answers, how I, as a Christian (I always saw myself as a Christian) should deal with this situation, I began to truly seek God. I repented in sobs for things that “I” had done. Not with her but in my own life. I began to have a true relationship with Jesus, because of this I fought battles of night paralysis. And I knew that Satan was having a battle over me, and was losing. Praise Jesus! He is so much more powerful. Listening to your sermon, I know that God used my grief, my mourning (which is how I referred to this period-mourning the loss of a husband for my daughter, and grandchildren, my dreams for her) as a way to reach me. And I know he is going to use her in ways we cannot begin to understand. I ask myself now, which of my children are going to know the blessing that come from adversity? I pray that they both come to know the love of Jesus, quickly. And that you would pray with me for this. Thank you.

Amen! Amen! Truth and such wisdom spoken here. Truly a blessing. Praise God! Thank you so much for posting this Sermon Series.
