While some divorced fathers become “Disneyland dads”—showering their kids with gifts and fun events to make up for their physical absence—mine didn’t. He withheld both financial and emotional support, and he rejected or mocked conventional displays of affection, even to the point of withholding birthday or Christmas gifts. He was also verbally abusive. According to my mom, as he was exiting our family, he only came home to eat, sleep, and berate my brother and me. He especially relished picking on me, nicknaming me “Idiot Child” (as well as something worse that is crude and unprintable). In Matthew 7:9, Jesus asks, “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” Well, I have someone I can nominate. But my dad wasn’t the only disaster in our family. His father was a sullen man who apparently had a mean streak. I’m told that when my dad was about five years old, the two of them were having a conversation about

I grew up going to church and was taught about God, but never really understood I could have a personal relationship with Him through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ until later in life. After searching in my emptiness, I thought I had found a place I “fit in” and that was with all the drug addicts and partiers. One drunken night I was asked if I wanted to try cocaine. I was instantly hooked. I believed the lie from Satan that this could make me be the outgoing person I always wanted to be. (I’m very introverted and struggled with a lot of fears) but I could talk to anyone. Everyone accepted that person and I had so many friends. It also numbed all this pain I had inside. I continued to believe all the lies Satan kept feeding me. This led to a life of misery and destruction that went on for so many years of my life. I witnessed several overdoses, had a gun pulled on me, was abused sexually, mentally and physically. I

It Looked Like The Pregnancy Wasn’t Going To Be

It Looked Like The Pregnancy Wasn’t Going To Be

By May 2011, we had been married four years and had a son of three years old. Towards the end of 2010, we began to believe God for our next child. Between this time and the end of July 2011, my wife suffered four painful miscarriages in quick succession. After the second miscarriage, we sought medical advice, did some tests and received treatment. In July she lost another pregnancy that was already 11 weeks. This broke our hearts very much! Eventually we were told by two independent consultants that my wife had secondary infertility and would be unable to conceive naturally. We found this a little disturbing, especially as we had our first son by natural conception. We kept trusting and standing in faith. Our spiritual parents were aware of this and they stood with us in prayer, through thick and thin. On one of those occasions, while Rev.  prayed for my wife we heard her say “Satan, you are the thief and you have been caught. Lord, we ask for a double blessing; double for their trouble”. We took those words to heart and stood on it anytime we prayed. On Tuesday 26th July 2011, we precisely asked God to have in a years’ time a set of twins… a boy and a girl. Double for our trouble meant
