The Blog Tour Spot Making Connections One Blog at a Time

We have a winner: Trish from This’n That! Trish, look in your email for a confirmation from me.

Here is Trish’s winning entry:

The only thing that comes to mind at the moment, and I hate to say a mistake….but I did make a mistake, only I got something wonderful out of it. When i was 18 i was a very wild child, I drank too much, partied too much and was too self centered. I never thought of God, i never prayed, unless it was to say that I would never drink again if I made it through that day but of course I did. it was at that time that I met my first “real” “boyfriend” (a kid who was just like me) I am not going to go into the details, but my son is 15 years old. he is definitely not a mistake, but I do believe God had a plan for me all along, because my son saved my life, I am sure of that. If it wasn’t for him, i would have continued on that path, there was not much further down I could have gone, and I would have ended up dead, i am sure of that too. That saying that your kids will be much worse than you ever were? In this case it has not come true. my son is a good kid, a good student, ad I thank God every day that my son does not do the things I did, and I just pray that it stays that way.

And here’s what Trish Perry had to say:

This was so hard to do! But I whittled the list down until this one stood out the most for me. I loved her mother’s heart, wanting to make sure her son wasn’t considered a mistake in any fashion. And I think the story could inspire so many girls and women who fear that the consequences of their bad choices will destroy them. Her short paragraph made me want to hear how she finally came to God and understand His loving will for her. Lovely.
