At the age of 22, my world was ripped from beneath me. The
pretence of a perfect life was shattered and I was forced to face
the reality of the decisions I had made. I was 7 months pregnant
with my second child and had a twelve month old child. My husband
confided that he had never been in love with me and was leaving.
We had been together for almost 7 years. Forced to handle the responsibility of raising two children on
my own, I looked to God (again) and asked for his guidance. How I
had drifted from him without realising! God reached out. He touched me. He protected my unborn child
(that I later found out should have been still born) and held my
two children and I firmly within the palm of his hand. Slowly, he
showed me the truth. My problems had begun with me. I was the
cause of my problems. Had I followed His direction and guidance, I
may never have had my world pulled from beneath me. I realised, He
is the Shepherd and I was a very lost sheep. I thanked God for
caring enough to allow my world fall from beneath me so that I
would find Him once more and began asking him, "where to from
here?" God reignited a fire within me once more to speak, to write and
to be the real me. Now, it is my call in life to share the true
depth of God's love with others. It is my duty to remind others
that NEVER are they too far from God and NEVER is it too late to
come back to Him. My testimony covers many issues like sexual sin and addiction,
abortion, false intimacy, lack of self-esteem and self-worth,
marrying for the wrong reasons, parenting unprepared, Divorce,
Anxiety Disorder, Starting over and Complete forgiveness. At 27, I have now re-married and have revisited parenting with
a new baby in Jan '06, in the way it was designed to be- as a two
parent household. My husband is an amazing man, an ordained Baptist Minister from
Kentucky, USA & beautiful father to both his biological child
and the daughters he claims as his own without a biological link.
My husband has shown me what true love is- true love is sacrifice
& he gave up his whole world for my children and I. He is a
direct reflection of Christ's love for me. My hope is to encourage
others to believe in a love that is real once more- both from
Christ and from those in our lives that God sends to bless us. Making a decision at the age of 11 that Christianity was for me, I ran from my decision at the age of about 15. At 22, I realised my ways and re-established a real, dynamic relationship with God and refuse to run from Him ever again. He is my rock and my direction. He is beginning and my end. I currently attend South Penrith Community Church, where my husband is Pastor. |
