- About Me
- I have 3 beautiful children Maureen, Jadon & Jasper!! They are my ♥, soul & inspiration! I've been through a lot of bull crap and have made some serious mistakes along the way. I don’t regret any of it; it’s all made who i am today and I wouldn't change that for the world. I don’t drink or do drugs. I Don’t judge those who do, that's not my job and the fact that I don’t doesn’t mean I don’t have fun, I’ve just had enough "fun"!!
- My Testimony
- I grew up with a rough childhood and a lot of anger for God. Growing up I was told some screwy things about God, Everything bad that happened to me was his way of punishing me. My father died when I was 3. I remember growing up thinking God took him to hurt me cause I was bad. My mom was in a lot of bad relationships, and I saw some really horrible things. Again, I was lost and confused and believed God was doin all this to me on purpose. I turned to drugs when I was 12, and started getting into witch craft when I was 14. This continued for most of my teen n 20’s. My addiction got worse and worse. In 2003 the emotional pain was so much, I figured I’d try church with my mom and something in me that day was moved. I went up to the front and accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. Things got better for a while; however I was still living in sin. Drinking a lot and still working in the strip clubs so naturally I ended up back on drugs. This all continued and got worse. At that point I felt like being saved didn’t work (I now know how wrong I was) In 2004 I was marchmenacted and sent to a drug detox center. I started going to meetings and praying. I was led back to church by a wonderful Christian woman named Lori. I didn’t want to but she suggested I give it a try. In Nov of 06 I was again saved and baptized. (Sorry, I don’t believe once saved always saved. I believe when u fall away u need to be saved again.) I was a new Christian, a new mom, and still not that strong in my faith. I had 3 surgeries back to back. I was given Narcotic pain killers as a recovering heroin and opiate addict I went back out. Lori was loving enough to take care of my boys for me so that I knew they were safe. In March of 2008 I hit my knees and cried out to God for an hour to please help me, and remove this “disease” from me. When I was done I took the rest of everything I had and flushed it down the toilet (knowing I would be dope sick) I now know that was the spirit not me. It took me a few months to get into a place. I went into treatment 5/23/08 when I got out of a rehab I met someone and got into a relationship with him. He had very different views on God than I did n sadly I started to feed into his beliefs, and started to believe some wrong things about God and the Bible. I got pregnant in October of 08 and with some convincing from him and others I made a decision I swore I would never make. I became more and more confused about God and my beliefs. I started praying for God to forgive me and help me to find him and know the truth whatever it was. In Feb 09 a good Christian friend of mine and me got back in touch. He knew I was lost, but he knew not to give up on me. I would ask questions about God and he would read scripture to me to answer them. One day I told him I felt something in my heart and I COULD NOT explain what it was. I just felt different. He pulled his bible out and had me read Rev 3:19-21 I knew the minute I read the words that what I felt in my heart was Christ callin me back to him. I have been sober ever since 5/23/08 and I thank God every day for the strength he gave me to flush that stuff, and for keeping me alive through all of the ods and beatings I went through. I now have a different view of my alcoholism and drug addiction, I see that it is Satan and nothing else. I am spiritually alive again and very much an Evangelical Christian. The Bible says once God starts his work in your heart he doesn’t stop. That started for me in 03. I now know that everything I went through since that day was God and Satan fighting over my soul.

- Favorite Quotations
- More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, Romans 5:3-4
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Rev 3:20-21
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him Col 3:5-10
- What would you say is your Spiritual gift?
- I guess I would have to say encouraging others to stay strong in there walk with Christ and teaching.
