Loving GOD through Jesus [My Testomony] " This includes you, who were once so far away from GOD.You were his enemies and hated HIM and were seperated from HIM by your evil thoughts and actions,yet now HE has brought you back as HIS friend.{Colossians1:21}. This whole chapter could have had my name written all over it.I imagine there are many out there who could say the same thing.As a young girl I was raised up in a very traditional Catholic home, and I can honestly say now that is where I got the tap root that that kept me safe during my unfortunate rebellion throughot my late teen and young adult life.For some reasion I believe that the between the ages of fifteen and sixteen ther is this opening for the enemy to get in an reek havoc in our lives.And with our bodies changing so much during that time he just sneaks on in there very subtly and then bam you have this demon inside your head making you do things you never would have done before.Think about it, it makes sense.I grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia,I loved it there.I went to Catholic school most of my earlier years, so I had some structure.I even thought of becoming a nun.Then at the age of sixteen we uprooted and moved to Texas.This did not sit well with me and no sooner than we got here the demon seed sprouted.I started smoking pot, and drinking , hanging out with stoners and running away.I put my parents through hell.I finally left home for good at the age of seventeen and married a biker at the age of eighteen,had a son at the age of nineteen and life just sucked.This went on for the next twenty eight years.Two abusive and failed marriages, an alcahol addiction, drug addiction,witchcraft.You name it I tried it.Then in the year 2000 I got fed up with men and relationships and gave up having sex.I believe that was the start of a turning point for me.I was still doing meth but was on the back side of this addiction.I had stopped drinking all togeather.It wasn't until four years later that I would start letting the LORD back into my life,and when I opened my heart he came in with a vengence.I was actually saved in April 2006 during a womans retreat that rocked my very being. Now I can't get enough.It makes me sad that I have missed this all these years.That I spent so much time in the enemies camp.I praise his name any way I can every day.This scripture should be on the wall of every middle school and high school throughout the country.Peer pressure and gang violance is hard on a teen and here it is. Don't let others spoil your faith with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on mens thoughts and ideas instead of what Christ has said. {Colossians 2:8} |
