my life than see their lives end”
“Mom and Dad, doesn’t God know being blind is enough? Do I have to have this, too?” sobbed young Matthew Stockwell. “This too” for Matthew and his older sister, Jessica, was a rare, degenerative, and deadly neurological disease.
“The blackness of knowing we were going to lose the kids was overpowering,” Sally Stockwell recalls. “I thought I would rather end my life than see their lives end.”
“I had such a strong sense of God’s presence, that he was agonizing over me,” Sally shares. “That was the beginning of my getting back onto my feet.”

intending to commit suicide, Sally grabbed for her car keys, but saw her Bible. She flipped through the pages and somehow stopped at Colossians 2:1-2: “I want you to know how much I am struggling for you. . . . My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart.”

Jessica died first at age 24, Matthew two and a half years later at age 25. “Our kids had heroic faith. They couldn’t read the Word of God, but they clung to it. Mark and I read it to them,” Sally explains. “The Word of God has been my salvation . . . when I wanted to end my life. God’s Word is the hope of a phenomenal reunion one day in heaven and that my children are not gone from me forever.” Whose life will you impact by sharing God’s Word?
