My Story

Before I received eternal life I was burdened with guilt and shame and felt an emptiness inside.

I would often be alone and remembering those I had hurt with my words and action. I had an emptiness in my heart and felt like I would never be who I truly desired to be.

Through a series of events over the course of a couple of months in 2001, I surrendered my life to Jesus and received eternal life.

My heart is now full of love. God has a specific purpose for me that he reveals daily as I follow Him. There is no longer any condemnation for my past transgressions. My desires have been totally transformed into the same desires God has for my life. It's truly a new beginning.

The past 17 years have been a wonderful walk as I learn to depend more on God and less on myself. I was led to make some very uncharacteristic job decisions and didn't understand how they would be beneficial to me or my career. But that obedience landed me in a better job, kept me in the church I am called to serve in, and ultimately introduced me to the woman that I will be spending the rest of my life with.

I don't know how I made it without Jesus. He now carries my burdens, he corrects me when I'm fail, he has my life. He loves me, therefore I love. He forgives me, so I also forgive others.
