Here's the story of my path to faith... Many of us associate our most deeply-held convictions with a single, life-changing experience. Others have always held certain beliefs sacred. In either case, it is important to talk about our experience and share our story or testimony. I came to Christ in 1982 or should I say God reached down and delivered me out of a lifestyle that was quite destructive. I come from a background of much abuse, physical, mental, and emotional. Needless to say, alcohol, drugs were all a part of my life at that point. I at times was beat to the point of not being able to see correctly, and worse. I was a victim of date rape at age 17, resulting in pregnancy of a little boy that in time would be separated from me for 14 years from age 6 to 20. During our separation, is when I turned too everything, except what I should, this is when I married into all the abuse etc. I had another son from this marriage. I was a victim of marital rape on 2 occasions. This is a taste of my testimony, I have said these few things to say this, God is awesome, he delivered me from every bit of what I just listed, he re-united myself and my oldest son, he has healed me in every area of my life, and he is No respecter of persons he will do the same for all. He loves us so much, and takes no joy in the harm and destruction of any life. I came to Christ through a used to be a party buddy, whom unbeknownst to me had given their lives to Christ. I Praise God for those who reached out to me, didn’t judge me or condemn me, but loved me with the love of God! This is just a little tad-bit of what God has done in my life and will do for all who call upon his Holy Name. God is awesome! What a mighty God we serve indeed!!!! What the enemy intended for destruction God turned to the good! I Praise God for the 2 beautiful sons’ I’m blessed with and how God took it all and made something beautiful out of something very ugly indeed. Truly, Beauty for Ashes! Thank You Jesus!
