Last week I met with a resident that was requesting a phase promotion. I remember her first day here as she arrived on a major holiday. She did not make a lot of eye contact and she certainly did not talk much. Since that time, she has come to know the Lord.
What is also so encouraging is that she is now teaching her child, who is living elsewhere, the tools she is learning here. She is also teaching him about taking responsibility for his actions – something we talk about all the time at Lydia Center. In addition to that, she has asked forgiveness from several family members that she felt she had hurt in the past – things that she found very hard to even think or talk about 4 or 5 months ago. The shame is gone and I see new-found freedom.
As I see her take leadership roles here and see her walk with her head held high now, I just stand in awe of God’s amazing grace! It’s unbelievable what God can do in couple of months in someone’s life!
