I heard some people talking!
They said that she is "Back in her right mind!"
They said that "You won't recognize her!"
They said that "She is working at a local restaurant!"
They said that "It is amazing!"
As I listened, I was remembering back . . . . . . .
When we at MUMs first met her, she had spent months in jail.
(I think it was drugs).
While there, she had been ministered to by Chaplain Jeff Boggs.
He told her about Jesus.
He prayed with her.
He prayed for her.
But, she was in a fog.
It looked hopeless.
So, he said that he would keep praying.
Then, she got out of jail and Discipleship House opened their doors to her.
Betty Clot and Deena Potts and Pam Phillips and Addie Floyd and Margo Ford and many, many others worked with her there.
For months, they told her about Jesus.
They taught her from the Bible.
And, prayed with her.
And, prayed for her.
But, her mind was addled.
She couldn't grasp and hold onto what they were saying.
It looked hopeless.
So, they all said that they would keep praying.
Then it was our turn. While she was at Discipleship House, our volunteer drivers took her to many places, for job training and looking for work.
Time and again, they talked with her. They prayed with her.
Then, they went home and prayed for her.
But, frankly, it looked pretty hopeless.
It was sad to see her struggle to comprehend even simple things.
So, they said that they would keep praying.
I cannot tell you how many times, over the course of our time with her, I watched good Christian people as they shook their heads and wondered if she could ever rise above that deep fog that
blanketed her tormented mind.
But, each would say,
"Well, we'll keep praying."
That was almost a year ago.
A year's worth of accumulated prayers!
Then, just day before yesterday, I heard . . .
"She is in her right mind!"
"She is working!"
"You won't know her!"
I have GOT TO check this out!
I have GOT TO find her!
I've GOT TO get the details!!
After I have found her, in one of the next upcoming 12 Days, I'll let you know what's going on!
