My Faith Story


Before I came to the Lord I was a lost confused pre-teen. I'd grown up in chaos and dysfunction most of my life. I tried to take my own life at the age of 12 and was put in foster care (after a stent in a mental hospital) with Christian foster parents who eventually led me to the Lord. I had the problems and God had the answers. He offered me peace (like none I had ever known) and love (that was unconditional) and I accepted it. That was almost 10 years ago. Today I am a whole, peaceful, joyful person. Because of what Christ has done for me and in my life, I can now wake up in the morning and be thankful for a new day, not fearful of it.
