My Testimony

Where to start...

 

I grew up in church, but around the age of 15, I started slipping into the world. I began drinking and partying with my sister and friends, chasing after things that never truly satisfied. I ended up in a mentally and physically abusive relationship, and by my senior year of high school, I was pregnant at just 18. I got married at 19 and divorced less than a year later.

​

For years, I went from relationship to relationship trying to fill a void in my heart. At 23, I got back into church because I wanted to raise my daughter in God's house. I accepted Christ in October of 2010, and even though I still made mistakes, I knew deep down that I belonged to Him. In 2015, I married again and never imagined getting divorced a second time. We were in church regularly, but after COVID, we slowly stopped going. I kept saying we needed to get back, but weekends at the lake became the norm. The more we lived in the world, the worse our marriage became. In 2022, the divorce process started. I was broken and had nowhere else to turn but to God. Thankfully, my mom let us move back in with her. People would tell me how strong I was, but behind closed doors, I cried myself to sleep. My anxiety was overwhelming. Some days I don’t even know how I made it through work, but staying busy kept my mind distracted.

​

My friend Lynda reached out and invited me back to church—The River, the same church I had gone to before life got in the way and we stopped attending. I knew I had to go back. I started attending on Sundays, and eventually, I was going 3–5 times a week.

​

On July 19, 2024, I placed a credit card on the altar—a financial sacrifice and an act of surrender, trusting fully in God’s provision. I gave it to Him, believing He would make a way. And He did—I am now completely debt-free. Thank you, Jesus!On September 9, 2024, I placed my wedding ring and purse on the altar, releasing my past and letting go of the identity I had been holding onto. I laid down the material things that no longer defined me. It was a powerful step of obedience and healing. I stopped going to church out of habit and began going with expectation. I was ready to give God not just a few things, but everything.

On March 23, 2025, I rededicated my life to Christ and was baptized that night. I was ready to let God have it all.

​

At the end of 2024, I moved to Tennessee with the company I worked for. I truly felt God calling me there, so I obeyed. But seven months later, I knew it was time to leave. I had let work come before God—I was barely in the Word and only going to church on Sunday mornings. I knew that if I couldn’t keep God first, the job wasn’t worth it. So after 13.5 years, I resigned with no plan—but total peace. I knew I couldn’t do life without God first. In late April/early May, we moved back home.

Since then, my daughter and I have been back in church consistently and attending Bible study. She even got accepted into The Ramp ministry college—praise God!

​

God didn’t just heal my heart—He began to break off generational curses that had been holding me back for years. I had carried a poverty mindset, believing I was meant to just survive or stay stuck in lack. But through His Word, He began to renew my mind. I started to see myself as a daughter of the King—loved, provided for, and set apart. He gave me a new identity, a new way of thinking, and freedom I never imagined.

​

While driving home from vacation, God placed it on my heart to share my testimony. He gave me the idea to create a QR code to put on my car so others could hear what He’s done in my life. He told me to start a website where others could also share their stories. Because someone out there needs to know this:

​💛 He is waiting with arms wide open.

• He is my best friend

• He is my Father

• He is my Savior

• He is my Redeemer

• He is my true love

• He is my courage

• He is my provider

• He is my helper

• He is my peace

• He is my strength

• He is my healer

• He is my deliverer

• He is my happy place

• He is my everything ♥️

​

Sometimes God will ask you to bless someone—to be their first. Don’t wait until He has to ask five other people because you hesitated. Be the one who says yes. Your obedience could be the answer to someone else’s prayer.​
