When I was young, I was told that I was “good for nothing.” I felt unloved and unwanted. I tried to hurt myself in many ways and I even tried to kill myself. I was sexually and verbally abused. I got married, divorced and, then, didn’t know where to turn. I welcomed many different men in my life, not realizing all along that this was hurting my children.
For ten years, I was taking all kinds of medicines to overcome depression and anxiety disorders. I turned to alcohol for comfort, until, one day, I hit rock bottom. I wanted to kill myself, so I took all the medicines I had and found myself in a hospital I.C.U., telling myself, “No more, no more! I don’t want this life. Help me!”
By the grace of God, I survived and went back home. Once there, it was as if the voice of God was telling me, “Why do you sleep? Don’t fall into temptation. Look up!”
The phone rang and it was my sister inviting me to Fortress Church, so I went. On that day, September 22, 2002, I got saved – I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Since then, I have never been the same. I was lost, but now I’m found. The Lord has turned my life around and placed my feet on solid ground.
To God be the glory and honor. Thank You, Jesus!!!
Jesus loves you and so do I.
