Raising My Ebenezer Stones has no outline because this side of eternity, life has no outline. Yet, God has a plan for each of us as stated in Jeremiah 29:11-13: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.Join the author as God reveals His plan for her, one step at a time. Follow along as He weaves the golden thread of His Providential Care into the tapestry of her life. You will witness His unwavering protection of a helpless child caught in the throes of poverty, violence, mental illness, and alcoholism. The true accounts of this child's entrapment will have you crying out, "When is something good going to happen to her?" At other times, you will laugh as the author takes you inside the thought processes of a small child as she grows into young adulthood. Most of all, you will rejoice as she surrenders her life to God's Lordship and allows Him to transform her life. Perhaps the glorious fulfillment of all the promises mentioned in the Jeremiah passage over a period of almost eighty years will inspire you to acknowledge your own Ebenezer Stones and confidently say, ... Hitherto hath the LORD helped us (I Samuel 7:12 KJV).
