I give Jesus the honor and glory for being the head of my life and from bringing me from so much. I told everyine I'd Give my testimony one more time, but I'll keep it on here for the people who are facing the same thing now that Jesus has delivered me from. This is my testimony...
At 17 years of age, living in South Central Los Angeles, my life was threatend by gangbangers on several occasions. One of those times, the man that was suppose to kill me showed me the gun and told me that he was suppose to end my life, but he couldn't becuase I was cool with him. This was all over a "C Note" tattoo that I had done by him. Crazy part is, I didn't even gangbang. I had got that nickname from being in the military. People had a hard time pronouncing my last name.At the age of 22, I had made the decision to become an exotic dancer. I was already heavy into fornication, but also heavy into weed, alcohol, and mushrooms. Buy the time I was 23 years old, my daughter was born. At that time started a relationship with a bi-sexual woman who was also an exotic dancer. She entroduced me to extacy, speed, and cocaine over the course of our 7 years together. We also had numerous 3somes after we got married. Now, I'm not glorifying the devil, i'm just tell you what happened. I end up making alot of wrong decision for myself. One of them cost me the rights to my own daughter which at that point was the only thing that ever made perfect sense to me. It got so bad that I was spending about $800 to $1000 a month to support our drug and alcohol habit. That's aside from rent, food and bills. I fell into homelessnes, not once but twice. I remember one night we slept in the Rosa Park Station elevator one rainy night in Los Angeles. Not fun. I had got to a place where I couldn't stand who I was anymore; financially, morally, nothing. I didn't like what I had become. So I start having nervous breakdowns and almost being admitted to the hospital. Then I did the only thing I thought I could do......try suicide. I figure if I could get a car to just run me over, it would be done. God blocked every car from hitting me...both times I tried it. I made the decision to get baptized in the name of Jesus November 12 2006. I also decided to take Him serious. I tried Him at his word. He dared me to let go of the world as I thought I knew it. I did just that. I put my total trust in someone I've never laid eyes .. and he delivered me from the drugs and the alcohol, from the fornication and adutery, from homelessness and dicouragement. He gave me a since of self worth. Made me realize that I've always been somebody. Then He told me what my purpose in life is. He ,in 1 year's time, has began to use me in ways I never in my wildest dreams thought was possible. My mother told me " If you'd just come and get everything Jesus has for you, you'd see how beautiful life is." I don't think she knows how right she is. For the people who know the old me; this should serve as a testimony on how you've seen God move. There's no way being in the world I could've delivered myself. This is only by the grace of God. I give Him all the glory. He showed how the devil has a plan for my life. He'll give me all the things my flesh wants, but that only to get me to stop praising Jesus. He hates me. Jesus also showed me that He has a plan for my life. He came so that I may have life, and it more abundanlty. He truly loves me. I leave this for everyone who ever felt like they were nothing. For every drug addict, alcoholic, homeless, nymphomaniac, stresed out, low self esteem having, adultering man or woman who thinks there's no way out. There is.............Jesus says it's not too early or too late to let the world go. You'll see that when you let the world go, there's just Him. He loves you, too.
