Transcript

the last two years, because of the pain, and the disappointment in my personal life, a huge disappointment. I have wanted to go home to Jesus. I felt like God was done with me because I couldn't walk anymore. I was in a black place, and a black space, for two years. And I just kept crying out to him, "Just, Lord, if this is it, if this is all you have for me, I'm okay, I mean, then take me home, why would I want to be here?" And I was having even beautiful grandchildren being born in that time. That's how deep my despair was. And I just cried out, and cried out, and cried out.
