I wanted to share my story after watching your first session. God loves to show us his glory and he showed me big tonight.

I’m a mother of a 20 year beautiful daughter who is attending the passion 2010 from Las Vegas, NV with her boyfriend. So I wanted to watch and listen to what she had heard.

My story goes like this.

My son, age 19 was killed in an automobile accident May 21, 2006. He was a racecar driver and was succeeding in the top ranks of NASCAR. His dream was coming true, so we thought until God had a different plan and chose to take him home. I’m thankful he knew Jesus. Anyhow, it has been a very tough journey for our entire family, and his friends. After he had passed I did continue to have his friends from racetrack to our home for bible studies, many were struggling.

As time has gone by I struggle with letting go, and trying to make sense out of all of the pain. I’m trying to let God show me his purpose, but its very tuff when you watch his friends all move forward. Watching your message tonight I was thinking to my self, God I know you can do anything you want and don’t have to answer to me, but show me your Glory in this picture of taking my son who had so many plans. You had explained that out of every small seed there is a bigger plan. That God wants to show his glory and make something big and show us. I was really thinking to myself, through the whole message and asking ” OK God show me your Glory in all of this.

As you started to close and the music began, I got a text at that moment from one of our family friends, it read:

I got this message from one of Spencer’s friends from Southern Calif. He said he was feeling very sad because his mother had made him cry on Christmas for the gift she had given him.” I asked why”? He answered and this is what he said, “Well there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of Spencer and my mom knows that I talk about him all the time. Well she gave the gift and it was a framed picture with Spencer’s favorite verse Ephesians 2:8-9 to hang on my wall”.

When I read that text I began to cry, the timing that text came was amazing, God had heard me with out any words even spoken, he showed me he is using Spencer’s death in others lives, and when you least expect an answer, he can blow your mind and show his Glory in every situation. And how much he really loves and cares about us even when you feel alone. Thank you for allowing him to use your message, even to a mom just sitting at home on her computer….God Bless all of you at Passion 2010.

Loving Him,
Hope
