From darkness to the Hope of Jesus

Before I knew Jesus I was insecure, depressed, and hopeless. I looked to drugs, alcohol, and perversion to try and fill the emptiness inside of me.

I remember thinking I would never find anyone to love me and that I would spend the rest of my life alone. Thinking that no matter what I did, I would never be good enough. I longed for love and acceptance more than anything and I would become whoever or do whatever people wanted to get it.

As I began to seek the Lord, He began to reveal Himself to me. He showed me that He had always been with me and how much He loved me.

It took time to get to know and understand who He is and Who I am in Him. There were many transformations of my heart and mind as well as healing that I needed along the way. While that journey of transformation isn't over, I am in confident in my relationship with Jesus and He has given me a confidence in myself along with incredible peace, joy, and Hope! I know without a doubt that I am accepted and loved by Him.

The Lord changed the way I see the world and everything I encounter. Even in difficult times I am confident the Lord will carry me through and provide all that I need.

There is no longer any question or doubts in my mind about what will happen when I die. I know for a fact that I will go see Jesus that day and spend the rest of eternity with Him.
