Nothing impossible with God

Yesterday, I woke up late – too late to get a ride to class, so I had to take the day off as a personal day. I was feeling really run down, so I guess that was a good thing. I also needed to do some serious shopping, so the timing was good because James and Nikki also took the day off and were heading to Walmart in the arvo.

Before we left, we ate a meal together and Nikki told me about her daughter. She was previously married to an alcoholic drug addict, who was denied custody of their children after it became obvious he was a threat to their health and welfare. When Nikki’s daughter Sarah was 11, she used to cry to see her daddy again, who lived in another state in America. One day Nikki gave in to her daughter and ex-husband’s plea’s to see each other. She made the mistake of allowing her daughter to see her dad for one week.

Well Nikki is not sure exactly what happened, but later found out her ex-husband left her precious daughter in the “care” of his drug addict gf and two guys during the day when he left. She suspects her daughter was drugged and raped and put through absolute torment during that time. Twice she received frantic phone calls from the daughter screaming “where are you mum?”. On the second call, Nikki told her daughter to find an adult or police officer and get them to take her to the biggest hospital in the state and that she would drive three hours to meet her in that hospital.

Nikki arrived and waited there for hours and hours and hours until finally the daughter arrived. She said from that day on her daughter was never the same and she has never found out to this day exactly what happened. What followed were obvious demonic manifestations through her daughter – her daughter would tear off her clothes, cut herself with glass, rip off her own skin, curse and swear and roar. She attacked people who came near her, even grown men and with such force that she would injure people – even as a young small girl! Her school years were destroyed and she could no longer engage or relate to people.

They moved her from school to school and sought all the help they could get from anywhere and everywhere, but to no avail.

In her early 20s a man escaped from prison in the area where her daughter lived and raped her. He also bit her all over her body and put her through even more hell. The whole family went to the hospital where she was chained to the bed because of the violent reactions she would have. It was then they agreed that she be taken to a mental hospital. Nikki has not spoken to her daughter for over a year because the daughter has refused to have anything to do with her. She ended up getting out of the mental hospital and got married to a man who truly loves her, but he is not a Christian and her life is a total wreck. She can’t work or function as a normal human.

Nikki spent the day crying her heart out on Thursday, the day I spent the afternoon sobbing over human trafficking victims. She said at Pure Heart on Tuesday they said they wanted to minister to women with issues relating to mother-daughter relationships and the need for restoration. My heart just broke hearing her story. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be facing all that – and it all started with one bad decision when her daughter was 11. Oh Lord, all we can do is pray.
