another woman and some

with only 2 hours of sleep in the past 48hrs i had to go to church on Sunday only because i had signed up to help with the youth program.

my only prayer was that it would end quick, it didn't!
at the end, the youth pastor gave a call for testimonies, every one and their mother had a testimony,just as i was contemplating skipping out,i saw one of the girls who was also a helper at the program get up to speak.
i 've known her for about 4yrs,she's one very pretty girl, she has a nice sense of style, i also know she has a son, just never bothered to ask her story.
in her own words:
my name is Heather,
i want to tell you about the tender mercies of God.
when the Bible says his mercies are new each and every morning, you better believe it, cos it's true.
for some of you who don't know me, i was born and raised in this church, i accepted the Lord at a young age, i did everything i was supposed to do as a good christian,, obeyed my parents went to school, didn't smoke or drink didn't fornicate, and so on,i considered myself a "good girl"
you can all just imagine how i felt when i found myself divorced at 22 with a child, that wasn't the worst part, the part that hurt the most was the looks, the gossiping,the way i was no longer a "good girl" in the eyes of my fellow Christians!
all because i refused to stay married to a wolf in sheep' s clothing?
i remember many a time when i came to church with tears in my eyes pushing my baby's stroller, but i came, every Sunday, every program, without fail.
why? even though, i felt rejected by my brethren never once,did i feel rejected by my God,the truth is, i felt His love more than ever.
i was being sustained daily by His mercy and grace.
today, His love is real to me, i have experienced His tender mercies, i live everyday by His grace. how would anyone know of God's mercies if they've never fallen from grace? i count myself blessed to know God's Mercy and grace at a young age, His love is as sure a the breath i take.
God bless u all.}
