I desperately want to fight for my mother's life. Our relationship is alive and I can only plea to others not to take this away from me now.
I am uncertain of the path that God is leading me on but I can tell you that He is showing up every day and I can see and feel His presence in the people and events unfolding around me. I know the only way I ever would have believed that my mother had changed and reformed her life was to see the evidence face to face. God has revealed this proof and continues to reveal His work to me every time I see her. It is so difficult for me to describe in words. It is real. It is powerful. It is amazing. It is love. It is peace. It is undeniable.
"Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
I do not belive in the death penalty. I wish the best for your mother.

ReplyDeleteDear Stephen,
ReplyDeleteI happened upon you and your mother's story through a friend of mine via his column in the Examiner.

I have signed the petition and will begin writing letters on your mother's behalf but most importantly of all I will storm heaven with prayers for her, for you, and for the Governor of the state of Tennessee.
I know it's easier said than done in times like these but hold on to your faith and take comfort in your love, your love for God, your love for your mother, and their unconditional love for you.
From what I've read on Facebook et cetera there are lots of folks out there supporting you and your mother and now I'm one of them as well.
May God bless and keep you and your mother now and always!

God bless you Stephen. I heard about your mom and this blog, at a women's conference held in Cleveland TN. The speaker was Tina H. I want you to know my heart goes out to you and your family. But for the grace of God go I. I will pray for your mom and you and your family. I pray your younger brother is ok. Jesus is soon coming and all things, all...will be set right. Come quickly Lord Jesus. God keep you, Stephen.
