Elizabeth Porter
I was raised in a little home in Morrilton, AR. A Southern Christian home.

I grew up knowing Jesus loves me and that with him all things are possible, but most importantly , If I believe He gave his life so I could live and shed His blood for forgiveness of my sins, I could go to heaven.

I was baptized as an act of obedience of my love for Christ and faith in Him, that He will return one day.

I left Morrilton when I was 13 years old, My life style quickly changed. I became so wild and out of control, and some where along the way I forgot that Jesus lives in me.

I rebelled so hard against my mother all she could do was let go.

I went through two marriages both of which were doomed from the start, We never had time to put Jesus first, So I ran through about 25 years of my life with blinders on, never looking back.

I hurt the people who loved me everyday, Every year I added more people to that list. The hurt grew deeper the pain lasted longer until one day somewhere along the way Elizabeth quit feeling.

I turned my life over to drugs. Satan ruled every part of my being, mind, body and soul . I lived form high to high, Days turned to months, months into years.

In 1999 I was sentenced to 15 years in prison. In 2000 I was diagnosed with cancer. My first thought was people don't live for 10 years with cancer.

I joined a program “PAL” Principle Application of Life. There I was under the care of a man whom I grew to trust and his voice, the voice of reason. Sitting in class one day I realized I had drug my savior through so much filth, I had strayed so far from the path that I was raised to follow. The choices I had made were not choices I new in my heart to be right.

Oct 22, 2000 I ask God to soften my heart and to feel me with his love and forgive me of my sins. I told him right there on my knees , Please Father heal me of the cancer, don't let me die in prison.

I'm in love for the second time in my life, You're my first love, please forgive me for straying as I have, and let me live to be a witness of your ability to love and forgive, and rebuild the life I had so quickly torn down.

God did exactly that, after surgery and 18 months of careful monitoring and checkups my cancer is completely gone. God allowed me, while in prison, to marry the second love of my life Mikie Porter.

We have both given our heart and soul to our Father who never gave up on us. Who was always right at our side, ready to forgive and willing to give us a second chance.

I thank God for where I've been because I know that along the way he never forgot his perfect plan for me, and he knew all along my worth.

I have learned along the way that character is not taught, it is caught! I have a whole lot of growing to do and I pray for the ability to catch the character of Christ a little more every day.

I'll see you in the sky.

When I was young, I didn't have much of a Christian influence. The influence that I did have, I was too young to fully understand. So with out much direction leading me to where I should be, I took a direction of my own. When I first started doing drugs, It was just experimenting to see what they were like. When I got a few years older my friends started experimenting too.My high school years were spent each day with a new way to get high. By the time I got out of school I had done most of it all.

I tried getting married and settling down. After about a year she realized she wasn't ready. So after the divorce I picked up right where I left off. Getting high every day with my friends. At first that’s all it was getting high with friends. But, once the drugs took control of my life. I couldn't keep a job. I ended up selling drugs to support myself. But the money wasn't too good and my habit was more important to me at the time than the money. So occasionally I was forced to get a real job to have money to support my habit. That never lasted very long though. Time after time for some reason or another I quit job after job to get back in the “ Dope scene”!

I can't even count the people I hurt with this crazy lifestyle. At the time I thought I was only hurting myself. At the time I couldn't see how much I hurt my family who loved me and only wanted me to do right. I could not see how much pain was in my parent’s eyes, but I can now!

Now I can look back and see so clearly. How much I hurt everyone who cared for me. I can also look back and Thank God for being right there with me and keeping me alive in all the situations where I could have very easily been killed. I can look back and see how God was pulling me from darkness where then, I couldn't see. I remember when I used to look back on the things I‘ve done. All I would feel is guilt for. But now I can look back and know with all my heart that Jesus has paid the ultimate price for every single sin I committed even the ones I haven't committed yet. See the sorrow is gone. Don't get me wrong I'm not proud of my past. I'm just proud of my future. I'm proud of the fact that when I look into my parents eyes now, I don't see the pain they've had for so many years. Because of Jesus Christ that pain is gone. My sins are forgiven my future is next to our Lord and Savior. I'm not where I want to be in my spiritual walk. But Thank- You Jesus I'm not where I used to be. My life is no longer headed down. The only way I’m going from here is up.

Praise God
