Under her bed, in the journal, she was praying to God about saving all of us. Those were her prayers; and her journal said like\u2014when it came to me\u2014she was like, \u201cGod, knock him off his throne. Do whatever You have to do, but bring salvation to him.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember, one night, she asked me to pray for her when she was sick; and she was lying in bed. She was, \u201cDarryl, you can pray.\u201d She said, \u201cThe Lord just spoke to me.\u201d She said, \u201cYou are going to go through it\u201d; but she said, \u201cThe Lord said He is going to get it out of you.\u201d This was before everything even hit the fan. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes, where were you in your career at that point? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I was at a place, where I was struggling; but at the same time, I was still trying to make comebacks and stuff like that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You are in the Major Leagues at this time, I\u2019m guessing. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You\u2019ve had good success, and you\u2019re struggling.

I think a lot of times, when you look at athletes, we\u2019re great at playing\u2014but hiding who we are is one of the hardest things you can really do\u2014because the broken part of you eventually is going to show up and show out. That\u2019s what it was for me. I was at the height of my career, playing, being successful, and achieving all these great things; but on the inside, my life was just so empty. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI really needed something different. I didn\u2019t know what it was at that time; because I kept trying to fill myself with: \u201cWell, a new car\u2026\u201d \u201cA new house\u2026\u201d \u201cA new this\u2026\u201d \u201cA new that will make me feel better.\u201d At the end of the day, it never did make me feel well on the inside. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> When did you feel like, \u201cOh, I was addicted\u201d?

When did the addiction start; do you think? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I was addicted at the age of 14. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wow. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I was addicted to marijuana; I was smoking marijuana. I got kicked out of four junior high schools. I remember my mother dropping me off every day to go to this other junior high school; and as soon as she dropped me off at the bus station, I would turn back and head back home; I missed like 40 days straight. She didn\u2019t know what to do\u2014she didn\u2019t know what to do with me, or my brother Ronnie\u2014because she didn\u2019t really have problems out of the girls. She just had problems out of me and Ronnie. She didn\u2019t have problems with Michael.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut she had problems with me\u2014and Ronnie was struggling\u2014I was struggling. Ronnie was struggling in like all kind of activities\u2014breaking in homes and doing all kinds of things\u2014because we were so broken. My father beat us and made us feel like this big; you know? I said, \u201cI\u2019m <em>never<\/em> going to touch my kids. I\u2019m <em>never<\/em> going to do them like that when I have my own kids.\u201d I <em>never<\/em> put my hands on my own kids, because I was damaged.

Am I right, or did you do some college? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> No, I went to the minors; I went to the minor leagues.

I went to the minor leagues; I spent two-and-a-half years in the minor leagues, and then I got to the Big Leagues at the age of 21\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wow. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> \u2014in 1983. I just remember being in spring training that year and playing well, and all the guys liking me. Then I thought to myself: \u201cMan, these guys like me. My father didn\u2019t like me, and these guys like me,\u201d and \u201cI want to fit in.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI got to the Big Leagues\u2014and my first road trip, there it was\u2014a veteran player said, \u201cGo back to the bathroom,\u201d\u2014and that\u2019s how I got introduced to cocaine. He said, \u201cWelcome to the Big Leagues, kid.\u201d I just thought\u2014you know, I needed to fit in\u2014\u201cThese guys like me; they accept me.\u201d So I hit it, and I liked it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen they took me out that night. When I got to the hotel, they said, \u201cGo drop your bag off and meet us down in the bar.\u201d They took me out; they took me out to the club, and there it was. They just kind of\u2014like threw it in my lap\u2014they said, \u201cWelcome to the League, kid.\u201d I thought, \u201cMan, I have arrived. My father said I would <em>never<\/em> be anything,\u201d\u2014and I felt that way\u2014and I felt like these guys liked me, and they accepted me for just who I was and everything. There I was, coming to the Big Leagues. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI learned all the things the wrong way, coming to the Big Leagues. I was multi-talented; I could play. Like most guys\u2014you know, you see play sports\u2014they\u2019ve got all the talent, but do you have the <em>character<\/em>? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Right; right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> It\u2019s a big difference in just playing and not having character because, if you don\u2019t have the character, that part is going to catch up with you somewhere along the line. That\u2019s where it caught up with me, along the way in my career\u2014the character of who I was really caught up to me\u2014because I didn\u2019t have a foundation; I didn\u2019t have a solid foundation. I had a foundation of playing. I could get up every day and play\u2014and go out drink, party, women\u2014and come to the ballpark, and I would just turn it on\u2014you know?\u2014because I was a player. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI just remember Tracy coming into my life. I just remember her saying to me, \u201cWhen are you ever going to take that uniform off?!\u201d That really stuck to me after all the struggles that me and her had\u2014went through back and forth and everything\u2014then she was talking about taking the uniform off. I had <em>never<\/em> heard that before; because she was like, \u201cYou\u2019re identifying yourself as the wrong person. When are you going to identify yourself in Christ? When are you going to <em>do<\/em> what God\u2019s called you to do?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was never pushed in that area to figure that part out\u2014because the baseball uniform: the Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, Giants\/teams I played for\u2014they always say the name on the back; it will always be the same last name: Strawberry\u2019s <em>never<\/em> changed. There I was\u2014left in that place, thinking about that\u2014when she had made that comment to me. I was like, \u201cMan, she\u2019s <em>right<\/em>. When am I ever going to take this uniform off and become the man that God wants me to be?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, let me ask you: \u201cAs you were in the League, did you ever see players that professed to be Christ followers and they were living it?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Oh, no question: Mookie Wilson and Gary Carter\u2014probably two players out of the whole clubhouse\u2014and you watch their life, and they are such a <em>great<\/em> example of loving God, and loving their family, and then baseball\u2014but most of us had it\u2014baseball and everything else that came along with it. Most of us were lost, and these two guys had such <em>great<\/em> foundation of being a man. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> One of the greatest things that ever happened to you\u2014second to your walk with Jesus, which we are going to hear about\u2014is sitting right there, Tracy. I mean, when you walk into his life, what did you find with Darryl? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And Tracy, it\u2019d be good to know, too, where were <em>you<\/em> at that time? You guys had been together for a while, even before you got married. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> Yes; when we first met, we were both at the lowest parts in our life. I had just had one year clean and sober. I was, literally, one-week saved. I was trying to figure out what the word, \u201csaved,\u201d meant. Darryl was at his worst; you know, $3 million in debt. He was still struggling to stay clean and sober. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was losing custody of my three sons, because of active addiction. That was the price I paid and how far down the scale I had gone. I was raised in a wonderful family; I did not have the same story that Darryl had, which means afflictions and addictions can happen to anyone. Let me encourage you: \u201cYou don\u2019t have to prove yourself worthy of getting out, or having a story that\u2019s dysfunctional, to understand that you can get lost; but there is hope, and redemption, and restoration in Jesus Christ.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>When he and I first met, we were both at the bottom. We were attracted by our pain, and that\u2019s a very <em>dangerous<\/em> thing. We had this desire to love; but we did not have the <em>ability<\/em> to love, which is such an entirely different thing. We weren\u2019t capable of loving one another. We did not talk about baseball at all. I saw Darryl sitting in a chair, at a recovery conference, where we met. He was skeletal; they had just found him again like in the back of a trash can on the street. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Whoa. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> When you say gutter, you\u2019re\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> \u2014literally, the gutter. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u2014talking gutter. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> \u2014literally. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Darryl, you were done with baseball at that time? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I was done with baseball at that time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> How many years had you been out? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I think it was a couple of years. I ended up in prison, Florida State Prison, with a T17169. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> \u2014his prisoner number. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I can never forget that number; I was thinking about that number. I remember having cancer twice and losing my left kidney in my second surgery. I always looked at God was doing for me what I couldn\u2019t do for myself. He was stopping me at every stop, so I wouldn\u2019t kill myself. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u2014trying to get you to look up. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Some of us, He has to really do it, like with me, to be able to stop me and put me in places to slow me down. It was all a part of His plan. Tracy was all a part of His plan, coming into my life, where she was and everything. He would eventually take her and use her to lead me all the way back. That was a process. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeople always talk about: \u201cWell, look at you guys\u2019 life now.\u201d But I sat for seven years\u2014when me and her got together\u2014God made me sit to get discipled. I was <em>so mad<\/em>; I was like, \u201cGod, why are You always talking to Tracy, and You don\u2019t talk to me?\u201d [Laughter] He goes, \u201cBecause she spends time with Me.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSee, I didn\u2019t realize she had a one-on-one encounter time with God; and that was her time, when she gets up every morning, because she still does that today. She gets up at 5:30 in the morning; and she goes and studies; and she\u2019ll go be with God and pray and everything. I realized, \u201cWell, God, I\u2019m not waking up at 5:30 in the morning.\u201d He was just like, \u201cWell, you\u2019re never going to get where you need to get if you don\u2019t get to this place of spending time with Me.\u201d That\u2019s what happened. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was sitting for those seven years\u2014which was great\u2014I don\u2019t know why He had to sit me seven years, but He sat me for seven years before He released me before I could go out speaking or anything. He made me come to a place of humility. Tracy was empowered with wisdom and knowledge of the Word of God\u2014her in depth\u2014who she is as a teacher and everything. I didn\u2019t have that from the beginning, because I wasn\u2019t spending time with God. You can never fulfill the promises over your life until you actually spend that time with God. That\u2019s what happened to me; I had to spend that time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo what did I start doing? I started staying up at night, because she goes to bed at 8\/8:30. I started staying up at night, and turning off the television, and putting the cell phone away; and I started saturating myself in the Word of God. I started studying the Word with God\u2014and there it was\u2014I started having the relationship with God for myself, just like she was having. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> So take us back to you\u2019re in this recovery room, and there is Darryl. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> We have a conversation. I am at a place in my life, where I don\u2019t know if I am really sold out on Jesus or not, even though I\u2019ve given Him my life; because I am angry with Him. I\u2019m very angry, so I\u2019m having this inner turmoil and this inner struggle of surrendering my own life to Christ. What I do know is I\u2019ve had enough; and the enemy has taken too much from me, because I gave him permission. I wasn\u2019t obedient; I wouldn\u2019t listen. I did not take ownership of my life and my mistakes, and it was time to do that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>When I saw Darryl, and met Darryl, there was this <em>love<\/em> in this man\u2014this genuine truth\u2014inside of him that anyone could see. That\u2019s why everyone loved Darryl Strawberry, regardless of how far down the scale he went. He was honest with you; he even told me, \u201cGirl, you don\u2019t want to mess with me. I\u2019m going to put you through it.\u201d When I first met Darryl, my first words to him were, \u201cI don\u2019t care what you did for a living, how many home runs you hit.

I\u2019m like, \u201cI can\u2019t deal\/I can\u2019t deal with this. I\u2019m disgusted with people; I\u2019m disgusted with my life.

They just kind of\u2014like threw it in my lap\u2014they said, \u201cWelcome to the League, kid.\u201d I thought, \u201cMan, I have arrived. My father said I would <em>never<\/em> be anything,\u201d\u2014and I felt that way\u2014and I felt like these guys liked me, and they accepted me for just who I was and everything. There I was, coming to the Big Leagues. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI learned all the things the wrong way, coming to the Big Leagues. I was multi-talented; I could play. Like most guys\u2014you know, you see play sports\u2014they\u2019ve got all the talent, but do you have the <em>character<\/em>? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Right; right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> It\u2019s a big difference in just playing and not having character because, if you don\u2019t have the character, that part is going to catch up with you somewhere along the line. That\u2019s where it caught up with me, along the way in my career\u2014the character of who I was really caught up to me\u2014because I didn\u2019t have a foundation; I didn\u2019t have a solid foundation. I had a foundation of playing. I could get up every day and play\u2014and go out drink, party, women\u2014and come to the ballpark, and I would just turn it on\u2014you know?\u2014because I was a player. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI just remember Tracy coming into my life. I just remember her saying to me, \u201cWhen are you ever going to take that uniform off?!\u201d That really stuck to me after all the struggles that me and her had\u2014went through back and forth and everything\u2014then she was talking about taking the uniform off. I had <em>never<\/em> heard that before; because she was like, \u201cYou\u2019re identifying yourself as the wrong person. When are you going to identify yourself in Christ? When are you going to <em>do<\/em> what God\u2019s called you to do?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was never pushed in that area to figure that part out\u2014because the baseball uniform: the Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, Giants\/teams I played for\u2014they always say the name on the back; it will always be the same last name: Strawberry\u2019s <em>never<\/em> changed. There I was\u2014left in that place, thinking about that\u2014when she had made that comment to me. I was like, \u201cMan, she\u2019s <em>right<\/em>. When am I ever going to take this uniform off and become the man that God wants me to be?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, let me ask you: \u201cAs you were in the League, did you ever see players that professed to be Christ followers and they were living it?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Oh, no question: Mookie Wilson and Gary Carter\u2014probably two players out of the whole clubhouse\u2014and you watch their life, and they are such a <em>great<\/em> example of loving God, and loving their family, and then baseball\u2014but most of us had it\u2014baseball and everything else that came along with it. Most of us were lost, and these two guys had such <em>great<\/em> foundation of being a man. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> One of the greatest things that ever happened to you\u2014second to your walk with Jesus, which we are going to hear about\u2014is sitting right there, Tracy. I mean, when you walk into his life, what did you find with Darryl? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And Tracy, it\u2019d be good to know, too, where were <em>you<\/em> at that time? You guys had been together for a while, even before you got married. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> Yes; when we first met, we were both at the lowest parts in our life. I had just had one year clean and sober. I was, literally, one-week saved. I was trying to figure out what the word, \u201csaved,\u201d meant. Darryl was at his worst; you know, $3 million in debt. He was still struggling to stay clean and sober. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was losing custody of my three sons, because of active addiction. That was the price I paid and how far down the scale I had gone. I was raised in a wonderful family; I did not have the same story that Darryl had, which means afflictions and addictions can happen to anyone. Let me encourage you: \u201cYou don\u2019t have to prove yourself worthy of getting out, or having a story that\u2019s dysfunctional, to understand that you can get lost; but there is hope, and redemption, and restoration in Jesus Christ.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>When he and I first met, we were both at the bottom. We were attracted by our pain, and that\u2019s a very <em>dangerous<\/em> thing. We had this desire to love; but we did not have the <em>ability<\/em> to love, which is such an entirely different thing. We weren\u2019t capable of loving one another. We did not talk about baseball at all. I saw Darryl sitting in a chair, at a recovery conference, where we met. He was skeletal; they had just found him again like in the back of a trash can on the street. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Whoa. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> When you say gutter, you\u2019re\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> \u2014literally, the gutter. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u2014talking gutter. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> \u2014literally. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Darryl, you were done with baseball at that time? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I was done with baseball at that time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> How many years had you been out? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I think it was a couple of years. I ended up in prison, Florida State Prison, with a T17169. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> \u2014his prisoner number. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> I can never forget that number; I was thinking about that number. I remember having cancer twice and losing my left kidney in my second surgery. I always looked at God was doing for me what I couldn\u2019t do for myself. He was stopping me at every stop, so I wouldn\u2019t kill myself. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u2014trying to get you to look up. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Darryl:<\/strong> Some of us, He has to really do it, like with me, to be able to stop me and put me in places to slow me down. It was all a part of His plan. Tracy was all a part of His plan, coming into my life, where she was and everything. He would eventually take her and use her to lead me all the way back. That was a process. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeople always talk about: \u201cWell, look at you guys\u2019 life now.\u201d But I sat for seven years\u2014when me and her got together\u2014God made me sit to get discipled. I was <em>so mad<\/em>; I was like, \u201cGod, why are You always talking to Tracy, and You don\u2019t talk to me?\u201d [Laughter] He goes, \u201cBecause she spends time with Me.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSee, I didn\u2019t realize she had a one-on-one encounter time with God; and that was her time, when she gets up every morning, because she still does that today. She gets up at 5:30 in the morning; and she goes and studies; and she\u2019ll go be with God and pray and everything. I realized, \u201cWell, God, I\u2019m not waking up at 5:30 in the morning.\u201d He was just like, \u201cWell, you\u2019re never going to get where you need to get if you don\u2019t get to this place of spending time with Me.\u201d That\u2019s what happened. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was sitting for those seven years\u2014which was great\u2014I don\u2019t know why He had to sit me seven years, but He sat me for seven years before He released me before I could go out speaking or anything. He made me come to a place of humility. Tracy was empowered with wisdom and knowledge of the Word of God\u2014her in depth\u2014who she is as a teacher and everything. I didn\u2019t have that from the beginning, because I wasn\u2019t spending time with God. You can never fulfill the promises over your life until you actually spend that time with God. That\u2019s what happened to me; I had to spend that time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo what did I start doing? I started staying up at night, because she goes to bed at 8\/8:30. I started staying up at night, and turning off the television, and putting the cell phone away; and I started saturating myself in the Word of God. I started studying the Word with God\u2014and there it was\u2014I started having the relationship with God for myself, just like she was having. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> So take us back to you\u2019re in this recovery room, and there is Darryl. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> We have a conversation. I am at a place in my life, where I don\u2019t know if I am really sold out on Jesus or not, even though I\u2019ve given Him my life; because I am angry with Him. I\u2019m very angry, so I\u2019m having this inner turmoil and this inner struggle of surrendering my own life to Christ. What I do know is I\u2019ve had enough; and the enemy has taken too much from me, because I gave him permission. I wasn\u2019t obedient; I wouldn\u2019t listen. I did not take ownership of my life and my mistakes, and it was time to do that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>When I saw Darryl, and met Darryl, there was this <em>love<\/em> in this man\u2014this genuine truth\u2014inside of him that anyone could see. That\u2019s why everyone loved Darryl Strawberry, regardless of how far down the scale he went. He was honest with you; he even told me, \u201cGirl, you don\u2019t want to mess with me. I\u2019m going to put you through it.\u201d When I first met Darryl, my first words to him were, \u201cI don\u2019t care what you did for a living, how many home runs you hit. There is a reason why people like you and I are in this room right here; we\u2019re broken.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was just very kind of \u201cin your face\u201d to him, guarded; but he\u2014I was ready to leave\u2014he grabbed my hand. He said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you stay?\u201d We\u2019re at a hotel recovery convention; it was <em>full<\/em>. I was just disgusted and wanted to leave, because people could not see the soul of Darryl Strawberry. They were still coming to this man\u2014who was probably a hundred pounds, soaking wet, almost dead\u2014still pulling for an autograph\/still pulling for their picture. I\u2019m like, \u201cI can\u2019t deal\/I can\u2019t deal with this. I\u2019m disgusted with people; I\u2019m disgusted with my life. I don\u2019t want to deal with this.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And yet, Tracy, you saw the true identity of a child of God in him. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> Absolutely; yes\u2014who God created him to be\u2014who God creates <em>all<\/em> of us to be. It just takes that someone special to stand before you and say, \u201cThere is <em>greatness<\/em> in you; there is genuineness in you. There are gems on the inside of you. Now, if you are willing\u201d\u2014but you have to be willing\u2014\u201cif you are willing to walk the walk, I\u2019m going to jump in here with you; and I\u2019m going to help pull you out; but you\u2019ve got to come forward.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> That is <em>so<\/em> true.

I don\u2019t know; you\u2019ll have to tell us on the next episode\u2014but it\u2019s like, \u201cThere, somebody sees <em>me<\/em>\u2014not my jersey, not my number, not my stats\u2014they see that I\u2019m a human being, not just a\u2026\u201d Every player knows, \u201cThis isn\u2019t who I am; this is what I do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy:<\/strong> That\u2019s right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u201cAnd God has gifted me.\u201d But you saw the <em>soul<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave: <\/strong>I think, in our marriages, the same thing is happening.

This is the message of the gospel that Jesus came, not just to save us from eternal punishment, but to save us from the mess we\u2019ve made of our own lives\/to bring beauty from the ashes of our lives. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDarryl has shared his story in his book, <em>Turn Your Season Around<\/em>, which we have in our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center.
