My testimony

I was born and raised in Virginia, I moved to Texas 12 years ago - so what brought me to Texas? That is where my testimony begins. Growing up I was raised in church and knew the fundamental of church, God, Jesus or so I thought. I didn't really begin my Jesus journey as I like to call it until about two years ago. Looking back at my life I now know that God truly had his hand over me. I was a mom at 16 years old and went through a terrible custody battle for YEARS because everyone thought I was too young and immature to be a mother. I've been in abusive relationships that almost killed both of us and I always searched for love in all the wrong places so I needed a fresh start, a new scenery. I've never felt good enough or complete and honestly I still struggle with that. If I would have known back then how Jesus loves me, how in control He is and how everything works out for His good I wouldn't have made some of the choices I did but then again, would I have truly came to Jesus? Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom to look up and that's what I did. I begin reading the bible for myself instead of just listening to by standers or preaching on TV, I didn't really get the concept until I fully grasped what having a relationship with Jesus meant. That's where I'm at today - working on my relationship with Jesus. The more I read and pray the closer I feel, I learn something new everyday. Among all the chaos around me He is the only constant, the more I work on my relationship with Him the more everything just seems to fall into place - Matthew 6:33 ~ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. He pulled me out of darkness and set my feet on solid ground!
