From Death to Life

Before I got accepted Jesus as my Savior I was lost and had no hope at all. For many years I didn't even believe there was a God at all and if there was a God I wanted no part of him. I lived a life of addiction, fear, reckless living, feeling like I had no purpose at all. I had so much bitterness and anger towards my mother and just life as a whole. Drugs and alcohol were my escape from all of the things that overwhelmed me. I went through one abusive relationship after another. I had no self worth at all. I didn't know I needed a Savior. Having a relationship with Jesus has given we hope and let me live a life free of addiction. I have a clear mind today and know my purpose. I have been able to forgive those who hurt me and accept that I am forgiven. It has been an amazing journey.

I remember when I met my husband Tim. I could see he had something different with in him than I did. I didn't understand what it was. All I knew was it was a light. He started telling me about Jesus. I felt something in me shift and wanted to know more. For the first time I felt myself beginning to maybe believe.

He told me how I could have eternal life. That Jesus loves me just how I was. That He could help me and that he would forgive me!! That was a hard thing for me. Because I knew what I had done and didn't know if he could. But He assured me He would and in fact already had forgiven me

Today I have a peace I never dreamed possible. I am free

I have been clean and sober for 8 and a half years! It is only by HIS GRACE that I am alive! I get to share my story with other people who are struggling with addiction and each Jesus transform their lives too!!

Today I have a relationship with Jesus and know I have eternal life and a place prepared for me in Heaven. But to be honest I would serve Jesus even if heaven wasn't promised. I love Him and am so grateful thst He saved me
