WOF Ripple Effect

I probably didn't need to post two right in a row, but I am ... I just wanted to share with you the wonderful ripple effect that Woman of Faith as caused.

One of the speakers at the conference, Carol Kent, spoke in great detail of her new kind of normal that life has now become for her. Her only son is currently in prison serving life without the possibilty of parole for the murder of his wife's ex-husband. Him and his wife had suspected for some time that the ex-husband has been sexually abusing the two children in this family. After the many reports and investigations, nothing was being done to protect these children. So, weakness overcame and he comitted the unthinkable ... 1st degree murder ... to, in his mind, protect his step-daughters. Well ~ it was a wonderful testimony to how God uses everything for good and how even in the darkest days, His light will shine.

So ... upon hearing this story, I immediately thought of a good friend of mine that is dealing with a very similar situation. My friend is being a wonderful advocate for her ex-husband who is currently awaiting trial for murdering his father. He had suspected that his father was sexually abusing his 4 sons and was in great fear for them, being a victim himself of that same abuse as a child. I forwarded her the story and I am so thankful to God for giving me the courage to reach out because she was absolutly stunned and so thankful that there was someone out there that could relate to her situation. She has ordered Carol's book, and is forwarding all the information to the sister and mother of the accused. This family is completely torn apart by this event, but I know that God will use this for good.

Everywhere I turn and see women that attended this conference I see a light that all of a sudden got flipped on that had been shut off for a long time. It's amazing ...

Well ~ I really should try to get some sleep now ... HUGE day tomorrow (today?)

God Bless!
