Allow me to introduce myself. I am that family member, co-worker, or friend
who slowly, over time, began to get lost in a degrading, moral-less world. The
person whose family, friends, and employers cried for the person I had been and
the unrecognizable person I was becoming -- a lonely and desperate woman
hell-bent on self-destruction. And I am the family member, co-worker, or friend
who at last discovered God's plan for her life and, finally, came home ...
from I Say a Prayer for Me.
Stanice Anderson shares her inspiring story to show others they too can overcome
even the most soul-destroying mistakes and discover the lifelong assurance of
peace and joy through a personal relationship with God. S
tanice has lived through it all. From a seemingly perfect upper-class home, she
fell into a nightmare of endless partying, self-destructive behavior, and
abusive relationships. Unresolved pain and guilt drove her to the bottom on a
death-spiral nothing seemed able to stop until the night, while shooting
drugs, she heard of God's infinite forgiveness and began turning her life
around. She tells how: Walking by faith and taking action rescued her when she
was fresh out of rehabilitation and out of money, references, or credit.
Learning that God loved her despite her darkest secrets freed her from her
painful past and helped her forgive as well as find forgiveness. Putting
herself in another person's shoes taught her how to cope with "difficult" people
and discover truths about herself.
Surrendering unresolved guilt and pain to God gave her the strength to lay
down a burden that nearly destroyed her life. Accepting God's gift of an unusual
friend helped her make her most cherished dreams come true. Honest, caring, and
inspiring, I Say a Prayer for Me also features special devotions to help you
find your path and grow in God's love throughout your life. |
