Promises of Hope

When Matthew was thrown in jail on July 21 2001 I had mountains of feelings. I knew his life was coming to a boiling point. With drugs alcohol stealing and living the wild life he had chosen to live it couldn't and wouldn't last long. Not with the promise God had given me for his life.</p><P>This was a promise I was soon going to question. I would even question the very existence of a loving kind God whom I had believed in all my life and had raised my children to believe in. </p><P>Soon way too soon my faith would be put to the ultimate test. Do I truly believe? Is He really a God of love and mercy? How could He be so cruel to those He's supposed to love so much? </p><P>Today I know the answer to these questions without any doubt. This is my journey.</p>
