Chapter 1 -10-<br />

Lord wants me to deal with my own problems.”<br />

“You mean finding your birth mother?”<br />

“Yes,” Tom said. “For years I thought she robbed me of<br />

my childhood. But God has changed my heart. I’ve forgiven<br />

her. I’d still like to find her, but I’m leaving it in the Lord’s<br />

hands.”<br />

“That’s good, Tom.”<br />

“If I could find her, maybe I would have peace in my soul.<br />

Maybe I would understand why she abandoned me. But<br />

how will I find her? I don’t even know her name or what she<br />

looks like.”<br />

“What would you say to her?”<br />

“I’d tell her what Jesus did for me.”<br />

“That’s a good place to start.”<br />

Ruby offered to help find Tom’s mother, and they began a<br />

search. Tracing back through the foster parents he’d known,<br />

they learned her name through a marriage certificate and<br />

a certificate of annulment. But they still didn’t know where<br />

she lived.<br />

Tom continued to pray for his mother’s salvation, and<br />

God blessed the ministry he founded to help those in government.<br />

He traveled to conferences and conventions, seeking<br />

the spiritual welfare of those in leadership. On one trip, he<br />

stopped by to visit his old friend, Ruby, who had a surprise<br />

for him.<br />
