In My Distress, God Saved Me!
In My Distress, God Saved Me!
Faith M. Connovich · Dec 8 5 minute read

It felt like I was in a washing machine. I lost my bearings. I did not know what was up and what was down. I kept spinning in a circle. I was praying the whole time. I said, “Lord, my daughter and husband are going to watch me drown. I am scared Lord, very scared. I need You to help me. I cannot hold my breath much longer. Please Lord, help me!” This was honestly one of the scariest things I can picture facing. As soon as I said “Lord, help me,” I felt...

The doses I gave were very calculated and had proven trustworthy for my body for many years. The following two events were very uncharacteristic of everything...

Among her injuries, Shellie’s right ear had been stripped from her head. The emergency room doctors did not believe they could save the organ, so they tossed it into the garbage can. Upon receiving permission from the on-call physicians to help her, Dr. Bennett retrieved her ear from the medical waste. He understood that he was like the other doctors and could not make things work on his own, but he knew...

Two years ago, my mother suffered an ischemic stroke. (This is a life-threatening condition that had cut off blood flow to the brain, killing brain cells, and left her left leg and arm paralyzed.)

This continued for...

Connie Jones · Aug 3 7 minute read

I was awakened at a very young age to what sounded like fighting in my parent’s bedroom, and what I saw was something no child should ever see, and that was the abuse of my mother and the raging temper of my father. We moved a lot, and in my child’s mind, I didn’t understand why we moved more than other pastors’ families. I would settle in and make friends, then we would move again, changing schools every few years. As I grew into middle school and was old enough to understand, I became aware of...
