This us my Testimony. The Lord has done a remarkable work in my life I have a awesome family that I love dearly. Growing up with my Mom, Dad, 2 sisters and I brother and variety of pets. In kindergarden I had problems socializing. I was very quiet and would not play with the other kids, always afraid to open up to anyone, at 5 years old. I had one nice teacher tho liked me and a very mean teacher who hated me and was ready to retire. She had no patience. If I did not understand something she would yell. I did not know what was wrong with me, I was so shy and quiet. I had a loving family, I grew up in the Catholic Faith. When grade school came I started opening up a little but not very much, whenever I tried to make friends I was just rejested and pegged as the "Wierd Kid". I had thick glasses and I was skinny with long legs...I was the last one to be picked on a softball team, this is a Catholic School mind you.Teachers would see me treated badly, but they would not do anything. I did not tell my parents right away becouse I was scared to and I did not want to worry them, I was also embaressed.In 5th grade we started to go to Oak Creek Assembly of God Church, the church I go to now. Thats when I first asked Jesus in my heart, it was the most awesome feeling I have ever felt. Such warmth and love. The only thing was things did not change at school. I still got called names and was treated cruely. The girls called me ugly all the time, the boys did not say much at all, but the girls were relentless. So anything good said about be I did not believe. When people keep on saying bad things about you, you start to believe it. I started not listening in church becouse I thought"If God ws such a awesome God, he would make all this hurting stop. So I even became cold to the Lord. I starting hanging out with a girl who had a reputation with the boys, so then I god a bad reputation, even though I was not that way. I started listening to heavy metal music and hanging out with the "stoners". I have had so much rejection that I came depressed and dispondant. In seventh grade I had a awesome youth Pastor who would pick me up and take me to Mcdonalds just to talk becouse I did not even fit into youth group. Even his attempt became void becouse satan had such a stronghold on my mind. I could not believe anything good about myself. I had crushes on boys that did not give the time of day. I went to Catholic high school , not much better, teasing and more rejestion. It made me so ubset I had stomach problems. Then came Softmore year when boys started paying attention to me, that was a bad thing....Yes, very bad. Ungodly boys after one thing, I felt terrible, dirty and sick to my stomach. Junior year I thought I was cute and was on the Pom Pon squad. I experimented with drinking and reefer, no hard drugs. I was not in church by this time and heart was cold and broken. My father died from a massive heart attach in 1990, I was 17 and I was alone in the house with him when he died. I was in shock/depression for a whole month, could not function. Then came large amounts of alcohol for me quite often. I went to college and got pretty good grades, I found out later I have a learning discibility which affects my comprehension of what I read....I wish I would have known that a long time ago. After college more drinking,men and relationships not good for me or my heart, broken always . Then in 1998 my sister Sandi went to Oak Creek Assembly of God, the church I went to as a child, so I Thought "That is good for you, girl not for me....At this point I was in the drinking/club scene and having fun. A couple weeks later I was sitting on my sisters house in the south side "ghetto" when a woman came to me and gave me a bible tract. I looked on the back of the tract and it had my old church adress, she was from my old church in oak creek. I automatically sobered up and Got saved that next Sunday. I went to the church picnic with Sandi and asked the Lord into my heart and cried like a baby. All my hurt, pain, agony was being released. I started reading the Word, going to Church every Sunday and soon I stopped my bad language. I grew stronger in the Lord and stopped dating for a while. I was delivered from alcohol in 2001 and a 15 year cigarette adiction in 2002...All by the grace of God, I give him all the Glory. At this time I was getting strong, being a good girl, loving the Lord only..Then in 2002 I met a man who I thought I was saved and dated him for 8 months. I would "drag" Solomon to church and prayer meetings... He was raised baptist and got a little freaked out when I would pray in the Holy Ghost....Came to find out he even lost his Baptist faith and was pribably backslidden when I met him...Word of advice, Missionary Dating does not work. I prayed and prayed for his salvation, which never came, so I ended the relationship and broke his heart. In 2003 I started having a real relationship with the Lord and I started going to Singles Ministry on wednesday nights and met a lot of Christian people, I was involved in a lot of Ministry, Street evangelism in the inner city of Milwaukee became my favorite becouse I was already familiar with the neighborhood. We prayed for everyone we saw, people recognized me from my past life and was blown away from my change, and I would say..It is all the Lord, it aint me. The Lord anointed me to pray against alcoholism, drug addition, broken hearts and prostitution. I thank the Lord daily for putting me in that ministry. My heart goes out to inner city ministry and also to Children.Ever sisce I was saved in 98 my love for children grew and I did not understand it. I spent 2 years in Childrens mininstry and helped teach Sunday School for the 1st grade. I will always cherish the precious hearts that have touched me and that I have touched. I want people to see christs love in me and that is what happends. The Lord restored me, I have a sweet innocent spirit,he brought innocence back in, I am a Born Again Virgin in the name of Jesus. I now am a volunteering at a inner city ministry ""CITY ON A HILL". It is a pro life pregnancy center where we give free pregnancy test, minister and share the gospel withthese young ladies, and talk to them about Chastity, which is the most important thing in a womans growth in the Lord. I am a living, breathing testimony, What satan planned for bad, Jesus turned it around for good. I can write all night. I just wanted to tell you all my story becouse I am comfortable to do so. I have had a big problem trusting women becouse of my past and how females were jealous and stealng boyfriends, and catfights,now the Lord is restoring me so I can have female friends and love them and share, encourage and break bondages of lies and deceit in the name of Jesus... NO DEAMON OR DEVIL WILL STOP ME BECOUSE THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. I truly love you all...God Bless.
