| SANDY'S TESTIMONY Twenty-two years ago I was married to a man with four children. He had custody of these children. His oldest son was fourteen when we married. With all the problems of a blended family--this boy turned to drugs when he was sixteen. It was a battle because his dad was in total denial of his son's drug use. When this boy was seventeen, he was a thief, addict, and very lost. He was sneaky and mean and violent. I learned many years later he raped my two children, because he hated me so much for coming into his domain. He has never, to this day accepted responsibility for his behavior. One morning, when he was seventeen, I woke him up--He became so angry that he beat me up, putting my hand through a glass door. While I lay there trying to gain some sense as to what just happened--he got a shotgun, loaded it, and put it to my head. When I looked into his eyes, I saw something so terrifying, I never want to see again. I saw the very depths of hell-I saw a look of sheer hate --his lips were curled back in a snarl and he was screaming at me-DON'T YOU SEE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME!! As I pulled myself up off the floor, in shock and FEAR, somewhere deep inside of me came these words--I LOVE YOU, SON. This was not me speaking--when I said these words --he ran from the house screamng. I KNOW THOSE WORDS WERE FROM GOD! I did not love that boy at the time--and even less today--but I gave him to God so I could find my peace. This boy, now a man, is in prison for life for murder and kidnapping. GOD SAVED ME FROM THIS BOY AND I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. GMA SANDY |
