First i want to say that jesus is so wonderful and i could never say enoughwords to truly explain or exspress just what hes been to me.Life has not been an easy journey for me and it seems that the past few months i have has so many attacks from the enemy in areas of my life,finances,faimly,and and my spiritual life.there was a lot of times i felt too weak to go on and i felt like throwing in the towel and i almost did.now just to tell you a little about the past things god has brought me out ofso you can better understand why this is truly a praise report.god has delivered me from adrug and alcohol addiction,and sexual immorality,and even gang activity that i was once envoled in,and at one point in my life i suffered from servere depression and had numerous suicide attemps much of my life i have felt like a hopeless case.I was raised in a baptist home under the care of my grandparents.my mother was not in church and lived a unhealty life style ,i was removed from my mothers coustody and placed with my grandparents,which now looking back i know god was working in that situation even when i was only a two year old child.mygrand mother taught me about the lord and .bought me a book filled with bible storiesthis in itself was a miricle cause i never would have been taught those things in my mothers home i have other brothers and sisters but iam the only one living for the lord.I came into truth at the age of 16 after visiting a pentecostal church for the first time in my life,during that service i received the baptism of the holyghost was baptized in jesus name and taught that the lord our god is One,not three.but still at some point being young and weak i thought the world had something to offer me and in some aspects maybe i cared how other people viewed me,i spent a few years in a backedsliiden state but god never left me and his grace did and always abounds with me that is during that period thats when the drug/alcohol andimmorality came into place in my life but one day in nov 2007 in a hotel room in houston texas i began to look my over my life and i began to contemplate suicide when i realize that even after numerous attempts i couldnt fix myself i couldnt deliver myself i felt id gone to far to turn around.(come to find out i was pregnant at the time and i didnt know it.) insted of trying to kill myself i began to pray and ask the lord to help me to do those things that i couldnt do for myself to deliver me and help me.He heard me i ended up moving back home to tn having my beuatiful daughter and getting back into church been walking with the lord every since though ive fallen short a few times he has a hold on my life and i cant get away from the calling he has on my life.he just bought me out of another hopeless period in my life when i thought i couldnt go on because the stuggles were so great but it has been in those struggles god has shown me so much and i see his soverity and mercy,and his grace so much clearer and though i still have mountains to climb iam living a overcoming renewed,and prayerful life in victory and through these battles and times of darkness in my life it has been inparted in my spirit that he will never leave or forsake me and no weapon formed against me will prosper.Praise the lord
