From near death to eternal life.

Before I received eternal life, I was overwhelmed with guilt and shame from my childhood sexual abuse, my past abortion, and other bad choices I had made to the point where I planned my suicide.

Two things stopped me from going through with my suicide: I knew it would hurt my sons, and I wasn't sure I had done what God required for me to go to heaven. I knew that if I died and I hadn't done what God required, I couldn't come back and make it right.

Following that realization, I felt drawn to go to church where I silently confessed my sins to Jesus, surrendered my life to Him, asked Him to come into my life as Lord, and to forgive me for all the bad things I had done, specifically my abortion.

Now that I have Jesus, I no longer carry the burden of shame and guilt. Jesus has healed me from not only what was done to me as a child but also from the choices I made later on as a result.

In January of 2021, I became very sick with Covid and had to be placed in ICU with atrial fibrillation. They were unable to get my heart back into normal rhythm and my oxygen levels were very low. I knew that I could die that night. Instead of being afraid, however, I felt a calming peace and I realized that whatever the Lord decided - let me live or call me home to Him - I was going to be okay.

If I were to die this very moment, I have no fear because I know that when I die, I will spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. Of that I have no doubt!
