The calls kept coming and it started to drive her crazy. Francis blamed her for the death of their child because of her behavior. She was frustrated that she decided to commit suicide. She dares God to prove himself and save her if He is truly the one.

God can use anybody

Sade was never dedicated to Christ. She did drugs but God still used her. This shows that God can use anyone he chooses.
