"My mom had a stroke and has been in the hospital for three days.
I am a Christian and have been listening to Pastor Mark's sermons, which have helped me a lot these past few days. After my mom was rushed into emergency surgery, it was difficult to listen to God's word. But, I kept praying.
Then, last night I watched the Rebel's Guide to Joy in Suffering. It changed my whole perspective on suffering. And, I finally slept well last night. And, my mom has shown a lot of progress since.
I praise God for His healing, His sovereignty, and His mercy. Praise God for Pastor Mark's wisdom. He was used by God during my time of need. Thank you."
