I was raised in a home that believed in God but we I was never actually taught that I could have a personal relationship with God. I had an alcholic father who was abusive to my family. I started drinking at the age of 11. It was hard to get alchol so I turned to drugs. It got so bad that if I came home sober my mother would think that I was drunk or something! I had been searching for a "inner peace" and I could never seem to find it. My friends started to get into the hard drugs so that is when once again I switched back to alchol. Then at the age of 13 I was raped by a friend. I felt hopeless. That know one could love me. I thought that I had to have sex to recieve love! I believe now that I was an alcohlic. I was drunk every single night. Sometimes all day also. I then met a bunch of people who called themselves born again Christians. I could just feel the peace that they had in their hearts. They would share with me any chance that they got. Still I fought it. When we allow the devil power in our lives he doesn't give up easily! I was afraid to change. What would my friends say? Then one night as I was drinking myself numb once again God did the most amazing thing. It was as if He stood me right in front of myself. I could see myself sitting there drinking. I looked so pittful. Lost and without hope. I could see my father in me right at that time. I knew I was on a path going nowhere! It was that night that I got down on my knees and gave it all to Christ! That peace that I was searching for, well there just aren't words to explain it. I have now been a Christian for 6 years. Two weeks ago I married the most wonderful man who has devoted his life to serving God. It is so amazing the miracles He can do!!!
