My Testimony
We are like butterflies, becoming new through Jesus Christ and God transforming us!
I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was 14 but I didn’t understand what it really meant to Know and understand God, I didn’t understand why such horrible things kept happening to me, I felt lost and used alcohol to cope. I didn’t have good guidance or influences around me, I never had a “normal” father daughter relationship so I never knew how to have a father daughter relationship with God. All these things impacted my prayer life and faith.
I don’t want to dwell too much on what happened in the past, I definitely went through hardships as I was growing up and didn’t know how I was going to get out. But one day, 5 years ago I was going for a walk and while I was walking I was praying and seeking God and I remember I just suddenly felt like God was telling me that I was going to move. I wasn’t told where I was moving to or how but 3 months later I met my husband, a year later and I was married and moved to a different city.
I truly believe that God moved me, He moved me away from abusive and toxic relationships, He moved me away and out of alcoholism, He moved me to a loving, caring and supportive family and community, there is so much God moved me out of and I’m so blessed and grateful for the life I have today with my husband, our two daughters and our little dog Bluey and my lovely father, mother and sister in laws!
Now I want to know more about God and who he is as a father, I have an amazing support system both personal (friends and family) and professional (Support worker, Psychiatrist and GP) I prayed for the life I have now for years when I was a teenager and I know teenage me would be so proud and so in awe of God and his good work.
If you feel stuck in a situation I encourage you to pray in Jesus name that He will pave a path for you and lead you to a place where you can heal, grow and prosper.
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”
Psalms 37:23 NLT
