Keeping My Promise to God

January 31, 2012

January 3rd and April 18th will always be very special days in my life. As the reader of this letter, I must let you know that it is by the grace of God that I may be able to share this testimony with you.
My story begins on May 9th 1996. I was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on Marijuana possession charges. Though, the events which lead up to this are relevant, it is not the focus of this story. Let’s just say, what the Officers did was unethical and I should not have been arrested.
After being ...

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 Saved Me

August 17, 2011

I am a teenager and during my past years that I am not yet a Christian, I was called to be the “LOST SOUL” they say. In short I am walking in Darkness and everything that I did is all unpleasing in the eyes of God.
One Day, God sent a Christian into our house.  “It’s my uncle who is a believer” and he was preaching about GOD and I was so blessed then he let me go into their place for me to know more about Jesus and to learn more about him.
After many days that I spend my time ...

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 ...

Listen and Obey

October 22, 2009

Recently, I sowed some money into a ministry that helps the homeless. I told my husband that I felt led by God to do it and what if it was one of our family members that became homeless? Little did I know, shortly after that one of our children became homeless and he failed to call us. He panicked and needed help desperately. A ministry in a central Texas town took care of our son and encouraged him to call us. He is home now! I believed God took care of my son because I obeyed and sowed into this ...

Faith That Pays the Bills

October 1, 2009

I was called out of the “world’s system” in August 2008 and I can truly say with no exaggeration that life has never been the same.  I’ve written about this in many of my previous entries so I will not go into too much detail about it now; however, I do urge you to read about it through the links I’ve provided for you below, but for now, I will simply say that Deuteronomy 8:2-4 pretty much summarizes this experience:
And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to ...

Learning From Forgivness

June 26, 2009

To expound on 2 praise God’s comment
“I think when we learn to forgive others, not only does God promises to forgive us, but we become free. Free from bondage and free from anything else that may compromise our relationship with God.”
That bondage includes freedom from hurts, and insecurities, and begins the unconditional Love that God shows us… Since I moved with my dad at 8 yrs old i was abused, both verbally and physically. When I met my mom shortly after i moved with my dad, she would invite us to spend time with her, then stand me and my ...
