Redemption is my theme!!!

I can remember the night like it was yesterday. God had given me peace to meet up with Kris after not seeing each other in almost ten years! So many different thoughts and emotions were going through me. I could not believe after all these years God was bring this man back into my life. At this point I have no idea why but God definitely had my attention.

We decided to meet at Buca Di Bepo for dinner. When I first saw him I was thinking in my head, "nope, not attracted to him." I could not believe I was sitting across from this guy who had long ago broken my heart into a million pieces and now is wanting in someway mend it, although Jesus already had.

In his new quiet yet strong demeanor he began to apologize for the way he treated me in high school. He confessed that our past decision to abort our child ran through is mind more and I would think. He regretted just as I had. I sat there amazed at God and how he could change such undeserving people. My life really did feel like a movie. Never in a million years would I have ever thought Kris McFadden would apologize to me let along be a Christian. His Gospel is real and powerful! I sat there witnessing it. At this point I felt numb and unable to take in all that he was saying but I knew it was hard for him to share his heart.

Little did I know this one conversation would lead to many more redeeming moments in both of our lives:-)
