Extraordinary Woman - Extraordinary God

I admit I was not optimistic when one of the Kid’s Club moms decided to leave the Christian based rehab after 5 days.

Her addiction to alcohol started before breakfast most mornings.  She said she couldn’t remember a time in her life that she didn’t drink heavily, even in childhood.  I felt it would be an extraordinary person who could pull themselves out of such deep addiction, while remaining in their familiar surroundings.

But, this is an extraordinary woman, and she has an extraordinary God!

Surprisingly and joyfully, she has been sober since leaving rehab and glows with new life. She has asked to help with what we are doing at Behind Every Door.  Support comes to her from our Overcomer’s group and there she encourages others.  She is back in church now and is bringing her friends with her.

Extraordinary!
