RD's testimony "Trust In The Lord" on 6/04/2016, 9:36am...
I was selling drugs, drunk & promiscuous. I was really into horror movies & love songs.I was out to find & experience love. I was least liked & loved in my home and at school. God caused me to change because He showed me that no man could give me what I was searching so hard for. He showed me that I was killing myself in so many ways. God kept me in my right mind. The movies became real & I became suicidal. I was always love sick from the music, He changed that too. God kept me from making it somewhere on time one night & had I made it there I would have been killed with everyone else that was there. This made me realize that I needed something different, something more & that something was God. My faith has opened my eyes to who I am. I have been sober for 12 years, no cigarettes for 11 years, pot free for so long I lost count. I'm celibate, raising my two nieces after raising my son & daughter. I learned that God is faithful, He does what He says He will do. I learned that He is to be trusted & adored. I learned to be watchful of what I allow in my gates (eyes, ears, mind etc.). Everything I was searching for I found in Him. Jesus saved me. I've been knocked down, but I promise if you get back up you become harder to knock down the next time. I would say that my most important lesson learned from God is this to live for Him is well worth it no matter what hardship comes He is there with me in the storm & He is faithful.
