My mother died when I was 11 years old of Pancreatic cancer. After that devastating blow, I turned to food for comfort, and I put on quite a bit of weight. Kids can be cruel, but even more so when you're the fat one. I was bullied tremendously in school for being overweight, and simply not fitting in with the crowd. Every day was a never ending struggle.Being isolated from my peers, I had no friends that I felt I could turn to. But I still had a strong sense that God was there, and there was something bigger than myself, I just didn't know what that was. I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home, where I was taught about the love of God and Jesus Christ. But I didn't know exactly what it meant to be "saved". Then one day, I just felt a feeling that the Holy Spirit moved me to pray and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was saved at the tender age of 17. The Holy Spirit nudged me gently and led me to pray and to ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart and be Lord and Savior of my life. When I did, I felt this over sense of peace and joy in my heart, and I felt transformed. As if something that was always there all along but I had never felt before entered in my life. I always loved God as a child. I was raised in the church from an early age, and my parents were both Christians. But I didn't realize what being a Christian meant until I learned about salvation.
I believe the Holy Bible as the true word of God- the Creator of our Universe, as He revealed himself over 2,000 years ago through the Jewish people. He sent his Son Jesus to pay the price for our sins. I am glad that I am saved. If you don't know Jesus, or would like to know more about him, please ask Him into your heart today, and read The Holy Bible. Find a church and talk to a minister and ask more about Him. Remember, no matter what you've done in your life, God loves you- so much that He sent his Son Jesus for our eternal salvation. My walk as a Christian has not been easy, but I find that the truth is always better than the lies. So much of this world does not offer anything that our Lord can offer. God has been very good to me. He guides in many things I do each day . I love my music and I'm so blessed that He is allowing me to sing and write songs. He will bless you too! Thanks so much for reading my testimony. God bless !
