I was just, at my lowest point, at a breaking point. I was into drugs, I was into alcohol,
I was suicidal...
How old are you now?
19.
19, and how long were you in that dark place would you say?
About three years. Like, I'll do anything, and he said to come to church, and I found
God.
From that moment on, you know, I knew I didn't want to live the life I was living. Um, three
months into rehab I was thrown into jail. Today, I am a full-time mother again. I am
clean and sober. I run a meeting for women in recovery. I'm, I'm just on a new road,
and I owe it all to God, truly. This was just a chance, an opportunity for me to become
closer to Jesus and um, to God.
And I had all this pressure being like this perfect person and I just, I couldn't do it
by myself, and like right there I just, I just gave it all up to God and Jesus, I'm
like, "Ok, I'm sorry I've been ignoring you forever, I need, I need you, I need you "and
from then on I've just been growing in my faith, and I've seen Him work so much in my
life and I've gone miles, and I just don't want to stop this, this is great!
Doing alot of drinking, doing drugs, involving myself with people in gangs. I hit rock bottom
I was in a camper in the dead of winter with no heat with just the clothes on my back freezing
to death, no money, estranged from my family, my son, my daughter and I don't know what
it was but God somehow came into my life. I wasn't put in this world to live the life
I was living, you know, that's the power of God's grace is that it was through Him that
I shine and I couldn't shine before because I didn't have Him in my life, and um, and
I'll never, I'll never forget it, and I'll thank God forever and today was a step towards
that thankfulness. Towards my savior, for taking me out of the, out of my rock bottom
and giving me a life again.
When I walked into that church and saw everybody wearing sandals and shorts and no ties and
everybody was just kinda casual and then, of all things the pastor himself has a tattoo
on his forearm, and I was just like, "This is the place for me." My heart caught fire,
you know? I lived a miserable life and a miserable existence because, as much as I believed that
there was a God, I didn't have any faith that He had any good things for me, because I'd
sinned so much that I was beyond hope.
Me and my husband started coming to K2 a year and a half ago, and I finally understood what
it meant to have that full relationship with Christ and to know just how much He loves
me. I've accepted Christ in my life, He is my savior.
We were making personal choices that just weren't, had nothing to do with God and it
was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life to follow that road and
I'm ready move forward and follow in the light of Christ and walk in His footsteps and walk
near God and move forward.
Now I'm getting baptized, I just wanted to publicly come out and say that I love Him.
I will live it and I'll try to get other people to see what it is, because it is my life now,
Jesus is my life.
