The drinking and drugs so easily could have taken her life. But somehow she survived. Darla tells about how God turned this broken individual into a new creation. He took away the drinking and drugs, the anger and hatred... and now she's a new person. She gives God all the credit.

Darla shares with painful honesty how broken and difficult life was. Hers is a story of simple survival. Abuse, drugs, poverty, anger, hatred... these marked her life.

"A friend of mine who I was raised up with came out of church and he said, 'If you keep hanging with your same friends, you’re going to Hell.' That was the first time I realized that I was on my way to Hell, and it was because he brought it to my attention. It broke that seal, that evil bind that had my heart, it broke it, and I realized then, 'I’m on my way to Hell.' What a joy to know that Jesus Christ can take a broken-down veteran whose life is beaten, battered, and can make you able to go and witness and tell people the goodness of the Lord."

Living at home with his biological family was difficult. The longer Ted lived there the less hope he had in life. At age 15 he finally reached a point where he had had enough. He walked out of the house and went back to stay with his foster family where he knew that he was loved and accepted. But while he was there, he would learn about a love that surpassed even that of his foster family.

Ted was born with Cerebral Palsy. His mother left him at the hospital because they told her that he would not make it through the night.

They called him their son and treated him like one of their own. Told that he would never walk, they invested in the belief that he would... and he eventually did. But, when a custody battle resulted in him moving back home, his life turned upside down.
