I was raised in a catholic family. Not to bash catholics, it just wasn't for me. I felt a different calling. Of course being a child, I had to obey my parents and follow their rules. My parents eventually divorced and I was lost. I lived with my mom and she fell away from the church, causing me also to fall away. Our lives became a wreck. I'll spare you the details and only say that it got baaaaad! Eventually I grew up and moved out, still lost. I ended up in an abusive relationship with a non-christian for 7 years. Then miraculously one day, a woman approached me and we got into some heavy conversation. She in turn, invited me to her church. I didn't go at first because I had such low self esteem that I thought the church would reject me. Then some months later I was driving past the church the woman had invited me to, unintentionally. I heard so much commotion coming from inside that it pursuaded me to stop and see what it was. What happened after that is just minor details up until the day I got my knees and cried and prayed for hours. It was then that I got saved.
Now I was still stuck in that abusive relationship for a few more years. That's when I was blessed again. I had been chatting with some people online as a way to make friends since I wasn't allowed out of the house. I became close with several people, especially this man named Anthony. After a lot of chatting and talking on the phone, I finally broke down and told him what kind of life I was living. I expected nothing from him. In fact I didn't even expect him to talk to me anymore after that. He did just the opposite. He sent me a plane ticket to come stay with him until I got on my feet and got my life back together.
Anthony and I are married now. We got married on November 7, 2006. He is a christian and we attend church together. I could never have asked for anything more. On top of that, I am gettin baptized on December 3,2006.
The Lord works in such mysterious ways that sometimes we miss what He is doing for us. I have now learned to never take anything for granted. I have also learned to slow down and listen. God could be trying to tell you something but if you aren't listening you will miss it.
Thank you for reading my humble testimony. May God bless you all as He has blessed me.
