God Never Leaves Us

February 7, 2012

I was around 14 when I got saved. I gave my life over to the Lord at a youth service the FCA held at my school. It was an amazing experience to just feel God’s presence. I had been down a rough road before that dealing with physical and sexual abuse. God saved my soul that night. I had stayed relatively faithful to God up until I was 16 years old. I met a boy. He was a proclaimed Christian and that fact was important to me. I wanted someone that shared my faith and who would just love me. ...

A New Creation

February 5, 2012

Before Christ (I got saved) all I ever did was work and focus on money,cloths,the right home, schools for my kids and everything materialistic. You see, I grew up without a dad, with seven brothers & poor. So, when I became of age.. all those things became important to me because to me they were a sign of success and made me feel important. As I grew older, I hardly ever went out or had much of a social life or fun. For me, It was work work work. I was in a unhappy marriage but learn to deal with ...

The Prodigal Son: A Time for Everything

February 1, 2012

Although I have been growing up in church all my life, I never really personally believed in God until I was entering grade five. The time I first accepted Christ into my life was during a summer bible camp they were doing a play on the prodigal son how the son did so many horrendous things to his father taking all his father’s fortune and leaving home, once he spent all his money he was in the dumps, feeding pigs and as poor as he has ever been. One day after many years he mustered up all his courage to ...

Scarred for Life

January 29, 2012

There I was in the church sitting in the pew. My hands start to sweat as I was very fidgety. I couldn’t stop looking at others as they stood up with there hands lifted up toward God giving Him praise. Not only that, it felt like there was a beam of light shining right on my forehead. I hesitated for a while and then I stood up and ended up in the middle isle, heading toward the altar to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior. The preacher spoke and asks me to repeat the words ...

Better Days!

January 27, 2012

Through my years of adolescence I was lost and confused. I would look at my life and wonder why our Heavenly Father placed me in such a stressful situation. No father, a single parent that works her butt off to complain about bills, no house to call my own, friends interested in senseless activities, etc. I would sometimes cry, use drugs as an temporary escape, let anger take over and destroy things. Anything to release that built-up frustration inside. Not realizing at that moment I was faithless, didn’t pray often, and had a lack of instruction.
At this point my relationship ...

Adulterous Relationship

June 13, 2010

I just want to share what God has done in my life with everyone. Recently I met a guy and we quickly became friends. He mentioned to me that he is married and because I was uncomfortable spending time with him he told me that he spoke to his wife about me and she is fine with us being friends and that she even wanted to meet me. And, since we were only “just” friends anyway I didn’t see anything wrong with us just hanging out once every couple weeks. But the Lord spoke to me several times in my ...

Homosexuality Forgiven

May 26, 2010

Satan has set out to destroy me from a very young age by molestation, childhood curiosity and homosexuality. I became sexuality active at age seven and it caused me to feel un-lovable, un-clean, un-worthy, un-desirable and I felt like I never fit in anywhere.
I actually think that the molestation started long before I was seven by my uncle who had later in life found out he had messed up mind about sex. I had spent a lot of time with my uncle and his wife when I was a child and I truly think that he did things to me ...

From Rebellious to Radical: A Halloween Story

October 26, 2009

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The Bible is very clear about the destiny of the devil.  Revelations 20:10 says “Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur…. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”  Notice that before he was tossed into the lake of fire, the Bible says that the enemy had deceived “them”.  Who are ...
