My Testimony...
First I want to thank God for his grace and mercy. He truly is my beautiful saviour.
I don't remember a specific encounter with God, I have just always known deep inside that he did exist. My parent's divorced when I was about 5 years old. My father came back to the Lord (my parents were both backsliding) and my mother stayed set in her ways. I grew up going to church but slept mostly during service because I didn't understand spanish. As a child I got into trouble here and there in school but nothing really major. However, the older I got the more and more I rebelled. Everything I was told not to do was the first thing I wanted to do. I got my tongue pierced when I was 12 without permission of course and my nose when I was 15. When I was 14 I started sneaking out of my window to go to parties. It was rare that I got wasted, my choice of drug was smoking weed. I eventually experimented with other drugs like Acid, X, and salvia. I've gotten arrested twice. Once for Assault BI and once for domestic disturbance. I got into a couple fistfights as well, 4 exactly if you include with my mother. I had numerous relationships but didn't take commitment very serious. I broke a lot of hearts and in return got my heart broken too. I dropped out of school at 17 (I did get my GED) and moved out of my mother's house. I had a re-encounter with an old high school crush (who I happened to fall head over heels for) and I just thought it was meant to be. (it's wonderous the way the devil works) He was very controlling, extremely jealous and obsessive really. He offered to support me so I quit my job. I wasn't allowed to hang out with my friends or even visit my parents. I had absolutely no freedom. It was all fine and dandy until he didn't want to go to work anymore. The little money he did make went to support our drug habit. (we'd smoke about a bag a day and for those who don't know, that's 20 dollars down the drain) I tried leaving him numerous times but only got as far as a day maybe two and I was right back where he wanted me. I became so completely miserable. Every day seem to get worse and worse. Our fights always started verbally and eventually ended with ME getting physical. I was so angry..but now I see it was misdirected anger. I was to blame for all that was.
I got to the point where I didn't know what to do. I had become so broken with the decisions I had made. I was in desparate need of something more. I was just so tired of "just getting by". After a history of making bad choices I made the best decision I had ever made. I visited this church (which happened to be right behind my boyfriends house. It's even more wonderous how God works!) and rededicated my life to Jesus Christ. I must have lifted up my foot to walk about 5 times and put it down before I actually went to the front and surrendered it all. These past 6 months have been so very different from the life I was leading and the road I was headed. My heavenly father deserves all the glory for saving a wretch like me. It was only God that brought me to this freedom. JOHN 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. THE TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE!!!
But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them who love him. -II COR. 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. -I PETER 2:9
