A few months had passed. Mike and Amber were back together. She called me and told me Mike wanted her to call that he was in the hospital. He had another heart attack. I went to his mother’s and got her. I called our preacher, Bro. Joe who beat us to the hospital. They ran test and said he had five blockages. They would do surgery Friday; it would take about eight hours. I went the next few days and helped as much as I could. I would come home with my heart broke. One night, I came in so tired crying telling God I cannot do this anymore. “My heart is breaking.” The telephone rang it was his mom wanting to know if I was going back to the hospital in the morning. I told her I had to work for a while and that maybe we could go that evening. She said okay. I knew she really wanted to be there. She
called right back. Amber and Jesse, Mike’s oldest son, had a flat on the interstate. So I started playing phone tag with Amber to make sure they were okay and that someone was coming. I knew it would take me at least an hour to get there. She finally got back on the rode. I called Ms. Nance and told her we would go first thing in the morning. I could tell that by her voice she was so happy. When I hung up the telephone, I started back crying and praying that God would give me the strength, to shut my mouth and just let me be strong and be there for them. I was crying! God spoke to me and said, “I have better things in store for you, my child.” I immediately stopped crying and started smiling. I knew he was so close. I could feel his presence. I knew Mike would be all right. God told me if I were going to take him I would have taken him when he first had his heart attack. I felt relieved and we made it through it all. His wife hugged my neck and told me I was her angel, God had sent me. She would not have a marriage if it was not for me. I told her God loves us all not just me. He loved her and Mike too. I was happy, but still heart broken.
For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
1John
God gave me a great opportunity to speak to women and give my testimony. God told me, “I could use you in many different situations if you will just allow me too.” I am so excited that God can use someone as small as me. It is always such a blessing to see other people’s lives change by something maybe I said that relates to their life. He is such a loving and forgiving God, or I would have been in trouble way before I got started. Thank you God, for what you have done in my life. It is so exciting to see what is next.
For my second speech, God laid it on my heart to speak about the sinful women. “That was not what I really wanted to talk about Lord,” I prayed. “People will have compassion for you on other things, but not adultery.” He said that is what He wanted me to speak on. I did - God really blessed me. He showed me that I did touch several people that day. A few of the women opened up to me that day. I was truly blessed immediately by obeying God. I knew that was my past and my sins had been cleaned by his blood.
Through all this God has gave me peace and healing and forgiveness. If I would have sued, I believe that the pain would have been to greet for me to bear. I heard a testimony on TV a few days ago and it really burdened my heart at that moment I realized. I would have won money. But the burdened would have been so great I would have taken my life in returned. I seen my life before me if I would have took the wrong path. It surprised me because I never thought about suicide. Taking God’s path he has truly blessed me and changed my life. I can trust others, and I am learning to love for the first time in my life. God is good and faithful to the end.

About the Author
I am Wanda Nance, a single self-employed mother. Austin, my son, eight years old, and I live in a community outside of
“My life has not been a picture story book.” I have been burdened for so many years with many heartaches, and pain. So much of my life no one knew except God. I was so ashamed and wanted to keep it a secret.
Mom passed away in a tragic death last year. I was so burden about what to do. Everyone was telling me to sue - a part of me wanted to - but something inside kept telling me no... God came to me twice in a dream. It seemed like I was asleep, but I was not. I was talking to him. He told me to write a book, gave me the name of the book and told me “I will bless you.” I immediately got up wrote the name down and started thinking I cannot write a book, I cannot speak a correct sentence on my own. I would write a little here and there, but it was too painful. I did not want to write it because it meant I had to relive the past. I was trying to do it on my own.
I realized that God chose to use me, and he would do all the work if I would just allow him too. As my pastor, Tim Lott says - take the step of faith, He will do the rest.
During the past year that it has took me to write this book, I have grown spiritually with the Lord beyond my understanding. He has answered so many prayers and talked to me through it all. He has blessed my family and me. I still have to pinch myself to make sure it is me.
I am such an undeserving person, and he loves me...
