      God Stories From Our Hearts to Yours - Sandra Cobb

      by Bonnie Shows

      b.shows.tx@gmail.com

      It was February 2008 when I had my third hip replacement. I was at home on medical leave. My younger brother Gary, a general contractor, was between jobs and was volunteered to hang out with me during the day so I wouldn't be by myself while my husband Mark was at work. Gary and I spent every weekday for a month just hanging out in Mark's Man Cave with the usual blackout curtains, recliners, a big TV and surround sound. Until now, Gary and I would get together at seasonal gatherings or birthday parties. We both had families and jobs and, well, life happened. Being together like this let us get to know each other again which was very healing for the both of us.

      Gary and I watched our favorite childhood Disney animated films between John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies. We were close siblings and understood each other. We joked about our family being the epitome of THE Dysfunctional Family! After I returned to work, Gary's family ate dinner with us alternating houses each week. We cherished our new relationship with each other and our spouses.

      Fast forward to 2010: Mark took a job in Kentucky. We hired Gary to finish Mark's Honey-Do list so we could get our house in Texas sold. Gary followed us to Kentucky and stayed on and off for three months to remodel our house there. During his stay, he confided in us some medical issues and concerns. He was embarrassed, but felt very comfortable in talking with us. We are educated people. We didn't judge him or make fun of him. We treated him with respect and dignity. In fact, I was very protective of my younger brother. Gary knew we loved him and NOTHING would ever change that.

      Now fast forward to August 11, 2013. One of the worst days of my life: Gary took his own life. I was devastated! The pain I felt was unimaginable. I was so heartsick and in shock of the news that everything after that moment was a blur to me. I recollect phoning Mark who was out of town on business, then i was numb.

      My strength and ability to cope with something so traumatic came from God through five women: Norma, Alice, Sandy, Jane and Penny. I vaguely remember these ladies at my house; although I don't know how or when they got there. I just know that in my moment of sorrow, I turned and they were there along with Pastor Eddie Bromley. I believe with all my heart everything happened for a reason. God knew my needs to cope with such a life-changing event and He put me where I needed to be to help me overcome these difficulties. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for any of my girlfriends and nothing they wouldn't do for me. I thank God for putting each of them on my path. The love I have for these women is forever etched in my heart. I love you Alice, Sandy, Jane, Penny and Norma.

      A Story of Anger, Hope, and Forgiveness

      by Frankie Stanfield

      nanny972001@yahoo.com

      Have you ever wondered, Why bad things happened to good people? I use to think this way until God allowed a number of devastating events to happen in my life, and I learned how to grow from the pain. God used these events to shape and mold me into the person I am today.

      Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

      .

      My name is Frankie Stanfield, and this is my God story. I was born in 1959 to loving parents and grandparents. I never doubted their love for me while growing up. God started preparing me for the years of adversity, and pain I would have to endure at a very early age. He knew He was going to have to equip me with a strong will and steadfast perseverance.

      At the age of 6, I was sexually assaulted by a close family member. I carried that secret with me all my life until 2013. I never told anyone, not even my husband. I thought it would be easier for everyone if I just kept quiet. I did not want to bring shame on my family. After all, no one would believe me, right? That’s what I was told by my abuser, so I just kept quiet and went on with my life.

      I gave my life to the Lord at age 13, and tried to live my life the best I knew how. I was married the first time at age 16. I knew it was a mistake shortly into the marriage. My husband became very abusive about three months into the marriage. I wanted to make things work out because I did love my husband. He was in the military, and left for Germany when I was three months pregnant. I filed for divorce with the help of my parents. I found myself a single mother at age 18, faced with raising my son alone. He was a beautiful baby boy and I loved him so much.

      At the age of 19, God put my current husband Hank into my life. (To date, we have been married for 37 years.) When I was 20 we had a baby girl. We named her Kristie. She was very sick when she was born. I held her for the first time when she was only 17 hours old, and no longer breathing. God in His infinite wisdom must have known that I could not care for a child with her extreme special needs. God granted me the strength I needed to accept and move forward. I knew I had to remain strong and move forward with life because I still had my son and husband to think about.

      My mother passed away when she was just 46 years old. I was 23. I was very close to both my parents, and I thought my world was ending the day she died. The pain felt unbearable, but somehow I managed to go on and remain strong once again, for my daddy. Eight years later, I found my father lying dead in his home. Both of my parents died of health issues related to alcoholism.

      By the time I was 34 years old, I had lost a child, both parents, and both sets of grandparents. In addition, we had experienced a house fire, in which we lost everything we owned. We had no insurance. I was having a real hard
