From Pain to Peace

Book Cover & Preview Text
COULD I PASS THE TEST.? Only if you get the right. My zeal was expanding some. But I still was not strong enough to totally depend on God. I was praying, but most of my prayers were pity parties. You see I was a single mom with four children. I had been mom and dad every since I lost my husband in 1969. I had three children by my husband when he died. They were 3 ½, 2, and 3 months old. My fourth child was by another man that I lived with for nine years.
I was working as a machine operator making $1.90 an hour to take care of me and my family. My husband hadn’t worked long enough for us to be eligible to get any help from Social Security.
So instead of relying on God, I turned to another source. I fell in love with a man. I couldn’t stand to be away from him. And soon I moved him in the house with me and my children.
Using every excuse in the book
why he had to be there. He could help
me raise my children, and bring a bigger pay check in the house. Also share my bed. I had an excuse for everything.
