I didn’t have a very stable home when I was growing up. I moved from home to home between many different family members and was in foster care for a short time. I started drinking when I was 12 and
was in and out of trouble growing up in and out of jail.
I’ve always kind of knew who God was and believed there was God but I didn’t surrender to Him. When I did finally surrender my life to God, I was in jail. Then after I got out I walked away from Him. He kept pursuing me though never giving up and He saved my life over and over again.
I know it was Him who saved my life because honestly I should have been dead a long time ago. I’m not and that’s how I know God’s real and I’m still here only because God is not done with me yet. I gave my life back to Him, and He has been working amazing things out in my life.
He’s restored relationships I thought were over. He’s helping me open up to my kids and helping me fix those relationships. He’s given me another chance at life that I don’t deserve but am very thankful for this chance to change my life around being the mom that my kids need, want and deserve.
I’m no longer called an addict, but a child of God. I can’t wait to see what God has planned for my future. I thank God everyday for the wonderful chance He’s given to me.
