Well, a bit about me:
I grew up in Windsor, it was just my mom and I for the most part. My biological Father walked out when I was 5, but my parents seperated when I was 2 after some thing's that I'm not quite ready to post about yet. Anyways, growing up with my mom was great, tough sometimes but great. At the age of 3 I underwent Open Heart Surgery, which we later found out I was awake for.
So I grew up pretty much different from everyone else. I also have tourettes Syndrom (a mild case) which singled me out even more.
Mom and I decided we were going do something different one sunday when I was 7, so we went to church. That was the year I was saved. As a child, without a father, I saw other children with full families, and decided I wanted one too. So I began asking my teachers, principal, guidance counsellor, and even the pastors of my church to marry my mom. I was only a child so, no one ever got upset, in fact they thought it was adorable.
Eventually my mom met a man at our church, and they fell in love and got married. I was 14, and the happiest person around. Shortly after that, for reason unknown, I began to rebel. I am quite ashamed of the things I got in to. I wont go into detail about what I did but it was not good. I was not only rebelling against my family, but against God and the church. I felt as though I didn't belong anywhere, so I began searching for places to fit in. I searched a lot of places, with a lot of people, but never seemed to find the right place. I always felt like an outcast, wondering why these things happened to me, in my life. Why God would let them happen, let me suffer. Through several years of my teenage years, I wandered wondering these thoughts, looking for answers anywhere. I eventually went back to God, having never actually leaving the church, I simply stopped paying attention, I began to slowly find the answers I was looking for. So I stayed, having faith, and trusting there was a reason for everything, I realized that God was there with me the entire way, I just simply didn't pay attention.
As a few years went on, I became closer and closer to God, I entered college and prayed to God to give me the strength to be a witness for him every day. After about a year or so, and a few dates, I decided to give up on dating and focus on my schooling. It was then that God brought my husband into my life. we dated for a year and then became engaged. We then got married 7 months later.
We have now been married for a little over 3 months, and I thank God for him everyday.
God does miraculous things all the time. He has brought me so far and kept me safe. I am happy for the Lord is near always. I pray that he will bless each and everyone of you, and that you may feel his presence near you every minute of every day.
The Lord will keep His promises. With love He takes care of all he has made. (Psalm 145:13)
God Bless
