There was one particular time when my sisters and I were talking about going away for two or three days. We wanted to have some fun and enjoy sister time together.  We hadn't yet decided exactly when we would be going, but I found out that on a weekend around this time Chris was taking a woman on a special event in the yard, and then she was going to spend the next day with him in the visiting room.  I couldn't bear to be alone to have it on my mind because of feeling the heartache, so I suggested that we go on our trip that weekend. They had no knowledge of what was happening that weekend concerning Chris.

We took our trip and had a good time, but inside my heart was aching.  You see I had been to those special events and knew exactly what Chris and the woman were doing. But God gave me strength and I was able to get through it. 

I depended so much on the Lord throughout that long terrible journey...but thank God for his promises...He is faithful...So much more happened that you will read in "The Devil's Playground."

"With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

I've said so many times, "Lord, I don't know how You can penetrate those walls with so much evil behind them, but I know "You" can do it."  God is faithful to his promises.

I realize many may not understand or agree with my actions but God asks people to handle all kinds of situations in different ways.  My ordeal with Chris was what He asked "me" to bear.  He knew that one day Chris was going to be a different man, but I had to continue to "wait."  God's timing is the right timing.  What I put into my relationship with Chris would come back to me tenfold, but I still had a lot more to endure...There is so much more heartache and healing in my book.  We have a faithful, loving Heavenly Father...

I truly thank God for Redemption and Deliverance from within The Devil's Playground for both Chris and myself.  You will have to read our story to know all our difficulties, heartaches and also good times that we went through.  It was a difficult journey, but God brought us through the BAD, the GOOD, and the BEST...
