Stella

Stella~
There is a tall, beautiful lady named Stella lying in excruciating pain in the hospital right now. The Diagnosis is grave- cervical cancer. It makes sense, because cervical cancer comes from HPV, which comes from unprotected sex, which comes from being a prostitute. But when I look at Stella, I don’t only see a woman who’s lifestyle destroyed her. I see a sister who found Jesus in prison. I remember when I met her, and she was healthy. With a beaming smile she welcomed us to the Monday morning Bible Study and she left to round up the other 6 women to present their “special number” for us. I’ve only heard stories about how angry she was when she first came to prison, and the dramatic difference in her since she’s become a Christian. She said that she wants to share Christ and live for Christ when she gets out of prison. Her greatest dream is to be able to be out and live differently. The most amazing thing to me about Stella’s story is how God put her in prison just so she could come to him. Pray for her now, for a miracle, for the doctors who are taking care of her. Pray for her family, who used to want to have nothing to do with her but came to take care of her in the hospital and paid the bail to get her out. Pray that she will be able to tell them about how Jesus changed her life. Now, Stella is in a win win situation… She could become an amazing testimony of God’s grace to other prostitutes. Or maybe she’ll see Jesus face to face soon. I’ll leave you with a song the women sang to us.

Greater than silver, Greater than Gold, greater than Husband, greater than wife, Greater than the whole world put together, my savior Jesus, He is enough for me.
