I am 25 years old. I have been married for 3 years and I have been with my husband for 7 years. I gave my life to christ a little over 7 months ago! I have two awesome dogs; Deuce and Bear and 1 extremely fat cat; Little Girl. You could say that I am an animal lover! I am learning and praying for god to give me as much compassion for people as I do for animals.
My Testimony
Let's see where to start...... I was brought up to believe whatever I wanted to. My dad and mom where constantly at war with drugs, alcohol, and of course money. They would fight right in front of us and blame God for all things wrong in our family. So, my belief soon grew to there was no god for me and if anything evolution made the most sense because I loved animals. Really stupid I know! Well, I met my husband my senior year in high school and he had been through some major stuff too. He however, went to a christian boarding school and heard about Jesus. Then he met me. I assisted in his backsliding for 7 years. This is where I believe God had enough of his backsliding. He went on deployment(navy) to Iraq and started reading the bible again and really searching for God. The whole time I was here living in more sin than ever. I was a binge drinking alcoholic, liar, and ran up a hefty credit card bill with my "pity spending". I felt completly alone. I was in a very dark state of mind. I thought that if I was not in my husbands life or anyone elses for that matter, I could do no more harm. I was considering taking my life because I felt the things that I had done could not be forgiven. I found myself praying to God when I wasn't even sure if he exsited. I knew that if I were to die that I would go to hell. No one told me that, I just knew. 3 months after my husband got home I was still being tormented by what I had done, but I felt a little better with him home. Then one day God answered one of my prayers. I asked for him to not let me lie anymore and to tell my husband everything and he did. That day could have been the worst and the last day of my life, but it was the first day of the rest of my life. My husband looked at me and told about the ten commandments and that he was no better than me and said You need God. That was all it took. I went from being a non believer to praying 20 times for christ to come into my heart and change me forever. And I am not sure which one he answered, but I remember sitting in the passenger seat of my husbands Jeep and getting this overwhelming feeling of hope and happiness. The depression gone, the hopless gone, the darkness gone. From that day on I have been so hungry for the word of God I have felt and feel his power and I will never let it go.
Favorite Activities
Reading the Bible, involving myself in church activities, and just hanging out with my family.
Favorite Music / Movies / Tv Shows / Books
I like to listen to Kutless, Jars of Clay, etc.... I like to watch movies that have morals and make me think... I don't really watch t.v. shows and as for books THE HOLY BIBLE! (Although really it is more than a book.)
