He is 21. He was introduced and honored. I’m so very happy God has done such a work in his life. I’m divorced from his dad and it’s been beyond rough. But I’ve prayed for that boy constantly. The rewards are here!! It’s been very hard, but God is good! My son is a Deacon in a huge church, not a drug addict on the streets. I’m so grateful. God is good. He never did drugs just to add.

Congrats Kristin......you have the right to be happy. Please understand that what I about to say has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with you or your son—- NOTHING......I am sure he is a repentant, Born Again ,Man Of God and will be of great value to Any Church he chooses to be a part of..... Having said that,let’s not be too rough on that poor, drug addicted soul out there living on the streets. God loves him or her also and He is happier at the sight of one repentant druggie who has turned to God for help than he is with one-hundred,self righteous church officials who have never turned to God for help.They are wretched sinners also and need to turn to God with Repentance. Again......not trying to rain on anyone’s parade— I felt like God was giving my heart a tug to make people aware of this..... Best Of luck and God Bless you and your honored son! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise God, and thank you for your devotion to our Lord Jesus as shown in the fruit of your labors. May your son be protected by many angels as he tends the tasks of service to our Lord through a local body of Christ Jesus. May he and the church flourish in sharing of the gospel of Jesus. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had my fair share of struggles in that realm. I just didn’t want to put my own failings on my son. He just hasn’t had those troubles thankfully. I’m not one to accuse drug or alcohol users ever because I was among them. Salvation is for everyone and can heal all things. Never give up! Never forget the Lord who saved you! Even when we fail, we are no longer lost ever. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was among those who use alcohol and drugs, not my son. I was just clarifying that to be fair to him. I’ve been saved and so has he, no matter who we USED to be, we are part of the Body of Christ now forevermore. Thank you for pointing that out.

Being a mother myself, I can only imagine your love you must feel. What a blessing to have a son who at 21 years old loves our Lord so much. You and God both did something right! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
