Victory Over Temptation

January 31, 2012

I give all my thanks, praise and worship to our everlasting and everwise God and Creator who is blessed forever and ever in the name of his holy Son Jesus Christ who sits victoriously at his right hand for he is my strength, my song an my salvation.
Last year was a trying one in the workplace. With the reshuffling of staff replacing the nice and peace loving members with opressors, liars, backbiters, proud boisterous boasters and confusion makers; particularly in positions of authority over me.
Once again I stand alone amongst all the gossipers and troublemakers who continuously set ...

Delivered from a Confused Mindset

January 29, 2012

My name is Maeshell Matthews. I was born on a southern plantation 68 years ago. My parents were sharecroppers. Our parents were seldom home and us kids had the run of the house. There were eleven of us children. Me being the fifth child between seven brothers helped me to become a rough tom boy. Our home was always noisy, something was always happening. Daddy and mudda (we called our mother “Mudda” were often cussing and fighting each other, we tended to do the same. When our parents fought we would stand huddled together in fear. I was always afraid ...

The Light in My Darkness

January 29, 2012

I was nine when I started in a long, downward spiral. It would take two years to hit rock bottom, but I did. I am afraid (yet thankful) that, if I was not so protected, I would have been in a lot more trouble. But, I did not know what was coming nor did I notice the gradual slope down.
It started at home. My mom yelled at me for the tiniest things. She always criticized me. I had no one to talk to about their, either. I kept it bottled up inside. Every night I would cry for about two ...

My Road to Damascus

January 29, 2012

For decades I tried just about everything to find happiness, self respect, love and the answers to the questions, why am I hear and what is life all about. That journey led me from having most everything I wanted and still not being happy, to pain, sorrow, loneliness, homelessness, hopelessness, alcoholism, drug addiction and thoughts of suicide. After years of trying and when the pain was just too much to bear, I fell to my knees and asked God to either end this miserable life of mine or show me how to live the right way. I asked him to ...

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 ...

God Changed Me

January 27, 2012

I’m 16 years old, TRULY living for god. I gave my life to Christ about 1 year ago. Being 15 year old, empty inside looking for things to complete me in all the wrong places. Hurt by a broken family, parents divorced, brother passed away, grandparents passed.
I use to look to be filled with love by having boyfriend after boyfriend after boyfriend. I use to drink, and smoke marijuana, all of this just made me feel worse and more lonely. One day, i was giving up. i prayed and asked god to help me and to ...

The Skies Roar

January 27, 2012

My parents divorced when I was young and I grew up fighting and getting in trouble. I was expelled from middle school due to being caught with drugs in school. I some how made it through and graduated from high school, it was there when my life took a dramatic turn for the worst. I began drinking alcohol and doing massive amounts of drugs. So much so, that in a two month span I lost fifty pounds from a cocaine addiction.
Shortly after my mother learned of my addictions. I felt as if the chaos had so easily entangled me ...

Hope is Coming

January 26, 2012

I was saved by God’s grace towards the end of July, 2010, and I thank God that he saved me at that time when he did. I wasn’t a teenager going around drinking and smoking, but I had a lot of problems and things happening in my life that I never thought I could overcome.
Growing up I never went to church and none of my family were Christians, but my friend invited me to a gospel concert her church was holding, and I decided to go along, at this time I had no intentions to accept God into my life. ...

The Prodigal Son

January 26, 2012

As I accepted Christ in my life last year God has never left me even when I thought he has. Last year I turned myself in for a crime I committed a while back. The day I turned myself in, just so happened the Police Officer that picked me up was a Member of the Church Of Christ. We started talking about God and how amazing his Grace is (I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE GOD PUT HIM IN MY LIFE ). Anyways he told me everything was going to be alright and I did the right thing by turning ...

Jesus saved my life!

August 17, 2011

I wrote this while I was in a bible study with my church titled Breaking Free by Beth Moore, I was asked to share my testimony with the group it was the first time I had shared my testimony and I thought I would continued so that God’s Glory can be shown through me even more!
I know some of you, but for those I don’t know my name is Sarah. Honestly when I signed up for this bible study I knew my life was very different from two years ago, and I knew God was part of it. Through this ...
