My Story is about being drawn back to my Savior! In the seventh grade Jesus revealed Himself to me in a youth group I was attending at the time and I asked Him to come into my life and save me, I followed in believer’s baptism and I was so excited to begin knowing just Who saved me! The world began, soon after that decision of faith, to pull me down. I experimented with drugs, and luckily God literally took me out of that situation, I had such a bad experience that I believe was from God, that I vowed to never use drugs again. Also, I was diagnosed with depression and they put me on medicine, and that only made things worse. I went to church camp when I was fourteen and met this young man who just captured my heart! We began to date and I knew, even at that age, that he would be the one I would marry. I knew that God had put him in my life. Soon after that my parents divorced, I was sick all the time with migraines, I began to take pain medicine and my body was soon addicted to it , I began to drink and I guess I liked it at the time, because soon I was drinking to get drunk any chance I could. I thought it was fun, but it was ruining me and I guess I couldn’t feel the pain or think about it when I wasn’t sober. Soon all I wanted to do was drink and sleep. I felt dead inside, there was no light, we stopped going to church, and even though I still believed and still prayed sometimes I wasn’t following His path in any way, I was following what the world wanted of me. At 18 I married that wonderful young man that I had met at church camp and it was one of the best decisions of my life, God blessed me with a wonderful husband who loved and cherished me, and most importantly loved God. I began to realize that this life of drinking and darkness wasn’t the life I wanted. But where would I begin? I stopped taking any depression medicine, my husband and I came to the decision that medicine isn’t what would heal me, only God could do that! God blessed us with a beautiful baby girl and during that time God really began to draw me back to Him, during the pregnancy I stopped having migraines and of course stopped taking pain medicine and drinking. So God sent me this little angel to draw me out of that pit. We attended a couple times to the church that we had met, and God helped me realize through some trials that I couldn’t live this life for me, it was about living for Him and He had to be control. I recommitted my life to Him and we began to attend church all the time once again and began to serve Him in different areas of the church. God has grown me so much over the past couple of years and I am so thankful that He is my strength because I realize now, that I could not do this without Him. My wonderful husband and I are now expecting our second bundle of joy and we are so very blessed by our lives being in His hands, I have never been so filled with joy in my life and God has helped me trust in Him! Thank you Jesus for saving me, drawing me back to you and truly changing me!!!
