Rebekah Madison- Kansas
My name is Rebekah Madison, I am the
mother of two young boys. I had heard many wonderful things about
Charlie Rogers, the preacher. I told Toni Ullom that I would try and
make it to church between my two jobs. My children were with
their dad for the weekend. I decided I really should make an effort
to keep my promise to Toni. I thought,"He couldn't make my life any
worse"and I needed a hug.
I drove as fast as I could at seven in
the evening to Elkhart, Ks. I had to be back at work by eleven that
night in Liberal. Toni hugged me when I got to the church. I was so
tired from moving furniture earlier that day. My body was hurting on
the inside and out. My heart was hurting from missing my babies.
They were with their dad who does not love himself, let alone his
kids.
My back hurt so bad from moving
furniture into a basement apartment, I could not believe anyone
could love me like I am. I am always tough on the outside and my
heart had a hard shell to protect my emotions that had been hurt in
the past. I went through the actions of church and sang the songs.
Towards the end of church, I was
thinking about my boys and all the work I had to do in the next
twelve hours. That is, until Pastor Charlie called me out of my day
dream and ask me to come to him. I instantly went into protection
mode. He held my hands and began to pray, God told him about my
back. I knew I had never spoken to this man before. Let alone tell
him that my back was so pain filled. He raised my hands and I felt a
warm rush and my heart started to open and I felt a small hug around
my broken little heart. My back pain was instantly gone.
I knew that it would all be ok. My
kids were God's before they were given to me, and everything I worry
about is already DONE by HIM.
So, FYI if you think you can't, then
you will not. If you believe God can, then IT IS FINISHED!
All my love to Charlie and Toni for
believing then I did not want to.
Rebekah
