My Amazing Journey with my Father.

Since I was a little girl I was searching for God to help me in my family of abuse, I had low self-esteem and was insecure about relationships in my life.

When I was five years old my little brother died of cancer, my parents were never the same, my sister and I suffered at my parents not being able to deal with grief. My father held it in and then took it out on all of us in anger fits. I grew up living in fear. I use to sit in church crying to God to help me and us as a seven year old little girl. Growing up I looked in the wrong places for love that only hurt my heart more.

My marriage failed and my husband left me with a baby to care for on my own. I was invited to a women's bible study where they were learning John 15. For I am the vine and you are the branch, without me you can't live...I was hooked and understood God's love for me at that moment. I accepted Jesus as my savior and someone gave me a copy of King James that I still use today 22 years later. I love the Word of God it is my guidebook to life. Without God I can do nothing, I am like that lost little girl looking searching for Him to help me.... Out of a child hood of abuse and a failed marriage I got a Father and a Son and the greatest gift God could give me...my own son who is my joy! I also saw my dad again after I was saved and God led me to forgiveness. I also learned to forgive my husband...

Now I have been set free from the bondage of self-hate, low self esteem and I can now live free .....with God's loving hand guiding and teaching me as I serve Him in my daily life....I have been saved and set free and I have His promise of Eternal life.....I pray for the salvation of my dad and my husband.

I met my dad years later and I was able to forgive him and show him God's love...

I know today that if I were to die I am saved by the blood of Christ and He has promised me eternal life...my life here on earth is one where I wake up wanting to be a blessing to those around me...to serve Him.
