My testimony

Before I received eternal life I was in complete despair.

I had learned of my father molesting my daughter and my whole life was changed in a instant. What I thought I knew about my life, was completely different than reality. My fiance and I broke up that year. I later found out that he had been living a double life the whole time I knew him. On my 39th birthday I found out he had killed himself in a local hotel. Two weeks later my father was sentenced to prison for 11 years for terrible things he did. The despair I felt was so intense, that it was difficult to sleep and get through the day.

One day my daughter changed the radio to KLOVE and I began to listen to it all of the time. While on the way to work, I was listening to "I Am Not Alone" by Kari Jobe and burst into tears because I truly knew in my heart that Jesus would take it all away and that he would never leave me. All I had to do was ask him into my heart and let him go before me and lead the way. So, I did just that. With so many tears in my eyes that I could hardly drive, I asked Jesus to come into my heart and asked him to forgive me for all my sins. The relief was instant. I had hope and knew that he would never leave me as the other people had.

My life is full of hope and faith now.

I lean on Jesus to keep the strength I need everyday. There was a time that I struggled with fear from the memories of all I went through. By increasing my prayer time and attending church regularly I have over came the thoughts that once haunted me.

Life is better than it has ever been. My heavenly father will always be with me during this life and for eternity.
