18 and Counting

18 years ago today I made Jesus Lord of my life. It has not been an easy journey but it has been worth it. My life was in shambles before I got baptized.
I was in an unhealthy relationship. I was running from my past of abuse. I was looking for love and affirmation from people and I was left empty most of the time.
Even after getting baptized I struggled. My only prayer for a man in my life was that the girls’ father would study the bible and get baptized. And when that did not happen I took it back from GOD and I married him anyway.
Again I went down a path of destruction. Our marriage last 2 years. That was my rock bottom. Leaving an abusive relationship, 1no where to go with my girls and still running from my past.
After getting my life back in order I got restored September 7, 2007. and I have not looked back
I have definitely had some trials and tribulations in the past 11 1/2 years. I have changed so much too. I have faced my life of abuse and share my life story with others. My girls going through teen years was a definite struggle. I had someone tell me that singles moms usually fall away during the teen years because of the struggle. That made me want to fight harder and stronger. Not to prove the person wrong. But to prove that my GOD is stronger than that. He can get me through anything.
I have learned to rely on GOD and not man. Man will let you down but GOD will never betray you. I look forward to what GOD has in store for me in 2019.
To GOD Be The GLORY.
