My beginning on this earth was not a good one. To make a long story short, After my birth, my brain was attacked by a virus that caused me to be what Dr's called unproductive. My family were encouraged by Dr's to place me in a mental facility because I would never be able to see, walk, bear children nor be a productive person in society.
My Grandmother would have no parts of that so she took me from the hospital and raised me as her baby. Under her loving care I began to talk at age 2, walk at age 4 and the go to school at age 5. She took me back and forth to the hospital each time I became ill, prayed for me and taught me about the Lord in the best way she could. She layed the foundation for me to know the Lord.
I was abused and raped repeatedly from age 4 till age 15. Tried to escape by drinking. Tried to find someone to love me by being promiscuous. Feeling all alone tried to commit suicide. The good part was that I had loved ones that prayed for me constantly. It wasn't until age 26 after a near fatal accident that grace manifested itself to me. Through all the sins committed by me and to me, God gave me grace, a grace I can’t imagine nor put into words. Coming out of a comma, no one thought I’d pull through, God spoke to me the following words; Sin’s power is broken! Romans 3:22-24 … “even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: ”
I placed myself in an awkard place/ position in my youth. The situation determined if I lived or died that very day. In fear and trembling, I promised God if "You let me live til I’m fifty, I won’t ever do this again."
Well, as you can see, I’m still here and I learned from my mistake. Then I had other situations (self placed mind you) I called myself bargaining with God. I had no knowledge of what I was doing nor taught any better. I thank God for His Patience and Grace. He had plans for me before my birth noman could have forseen except my loving grandmother, Because of her Faith in God, I was given a new begining.
I am Daughter of the Most High, Blessed and Highly Favored! And through His Grace, I am the Father's Daughter!
