What do an ex-con, a former drug addict, a real estate broker, a college student, and a married mother of two
have in common?
Nothing, or so I thought. Who would have imagined that God would make a prayer group as mismatched as ours the closest of friends? I almost didn't even go to the Chicago Women's Conference-after all, being thrown together with five hundred strangers wasn't exactly my "comfort zone." But something happened that weekend to make us realize we had to hang together and the "Yada Yada Prayer Group" was born!
A robbery, a lynching, and
a mourning mother shake up the Yada Yada Prayer Group.
I had never felt so violated! The Yada Yada Prayer Group was "gettin' down" with God in prayer and praise one night when a heroin-crazed woman barged into my house, demanded our valuables, and threatened us with a knife! We wondered if we'd ever get back to normal after this terrifying experience. But this shocking confrontation forced me to face my own accountability, and God used the Yada Yada Prayer Group to reveal what true forgiveness really is.
