Accomplishments: Survivor of the harsh handouts and choices that life has to offer; abuse, addictions, near drug overdoses, and suicide attempt.
Goals: To be used by God to bring truth, a ray of light, and an ounce of joy and hope to lives through my testimonies and the message of Jesus Christ.
Dreams: To become a well-loved author for the Lord. To use my God given talents in other areas of writing such as children’s books (in which I am completing my first volume of short stories); an autobiography (that has two chapters completed so far); greeting cards, gifts, bookmarks, and other writing opportunities that I may be blessed with.
Acknowledgements: A modified version of the poem "Turn Right," was chosen by The International Library Of Poetry Selection Committee to be published in the Anthology "The Silence Within" which will be available in the Spring of 2001!
History: At the age of seven I gave my tiny heart to Christ! I thank my parents for carrying me to church those few years of my childhood, because it was those years that the tiny seeds of faith were being watered in my heart. Seeds that would not come to full bloom until my early thirties because of wrong choices I made along the way.
Unfortunately, Satan had his way and my family quit going to church. Sadly my parents began abusing alcohol and each other. Eventually, my sister and I, being the third generation of abuse, became victims of this vicious cycle. Because of this I backslid, and at the age of fifteen became a user of alcohol and drugs myself. Despite my sins, God made a way out for me and I left home at the tender age of sixteen.
At the age of twenty-five, still living the same lifestyle, with a five year old son, my first husband mysteriously disappeared. I sank into deep depression, contemplating suicide, but God wouldn’t allow it.
Two and a half years later the Lord delivered me from drugs and alcohol! I met a wonderful man who is now my husband and God has blessed me with two more beautiful children! In 1995 I quit running from God and gave Him my life completely for keeps! Because He never gave up on me, I made it! To Him belongs all of the glory and praise!view less
