Michael was just fifteen years old when he started dieting. He wasn’t fat, he wasn’t thin either. But he was a strong minded teenager who was determined to change his own life in a very dramatic way. Michael’s obsession with his appearance drew him into a death struggle with Bulimia Nervosa. Sherry and I believed that there was no hope for Michael. We knew that we were losing our youngest son, but at the height of our desperation, God came and touched our lives in a very powerful way. When tragedy enters your life and you feel that you have no hope, don’t be afraid. The Lord is close to those who call upon Him. He is only a prayer away, and when He comes, He reveals Himself as the one true God, the Almighty .
