Lead singer of the band Flyleaf, Lacey Mosley, tells her amazing story of grace and healing
Mosley, born in Texas, 1981, grew up in a fatherless household with 5 siblings, leading to a tumultuous life of drugs, anger and depression. When a fight she had with her mother led to the police being called, teenaged Mosley was forced to move out and live with her grandparents in Mississippi.
Completely cut off from her old life, she hit rock bottom, beginning plans for suicide. Mosley's grandmother saw the girl's distress and pleaded for her to attend church. That first church service changed Mosley's life forever.

Jan and Mike
Transcribed from Testimony tape.
By Pam Whitley
I always like to start out by making sure everyone knows that I'm one of those GRITS girls....Girls Raised In The South…and I am telling you that for a reason. Even though I've lost most of my accent, and believe me I have, because when I first moved to Oklahoma, people would say things like “let me hear you say so and so again. Then they'd practically roll in the floor laughing when I said whatever. So even though I've lost most of my accent, I still use different terms for things than some of my Oklahoma friends do. For example, they go out and start their cars; I crank mine. They go to the grocery store and find a parking place, I find a park. They go into the grocery store and get a shopping cart; I get a buggy! By the way, just for my own information, how many of you get a buggy?

The Shadow of Pain
Shadows are always there. The shadow of pain is like your shadow. Sometimes it is small and hard to find and then at other times it is a giant as tall as a tree. It is a constant companion that accompanies you. If you go fast it is just as fast. If you go slow it is slow. When you stop it stops. It matches you. When you are in the deepest valley your shadow is there. When at the heights of the highest mountain it is there also.
I never thought that the pain would shadow you. I would expect the pain would be there when I am low and downcast. I would expect it on birthdays, holidays, and death days. But not on the good days. The happy days. The fun days. The shadow is always there.

IMPACT
From James' webpage written by his mother:
Sun Jul 9 10:42:26 CST 2000
On July 9, 1995 God blessed our lives with our precious James. I can still see the very moment James came into this world. The very moment the doctors put our sweet baby into my arms, my eyes saw such beauty. I'll never forget how he looked into my eyes for the longest time purring like a kitten. From the very moment the doctors put James into my arms we held on as tight as we could and never let go.
