I must admit when I was 21 I was not saved (but) I was pregnant with my second child. I was working two jobs. One was a waitress and then I would leave go to school were I was studing to be a family service assistance and I would leave school and go to the elementary school where I worked as a after school programer. When I turned five months pregnant my doctor told me I had to get off my feet totally. When I was seven months I started having what I called premature labor pains and went to my doctor where I was rushed to the emergency room. I spent 7 and 1/2 hours in labor that were not stopable. When they took fluid off my stomach and found that my child's lungs was strong enough for her to live outside my body they went ahead with the labor and delivery process. At this time it was about 1am and a code blue was called because my child had stopped breathing inside me and my ozygen was cut short. The nurse came closer to me and asked me if it was an option which life would I want them to save mine or my child. Surely that was a hard pill to swallow; so I told them just do what had to be done and which ever life looked to be stronger to keep do that. I can truely Thank God today because neither life was taken. I am now thirty-eight years of age and my daughter is seventeen soon to be eighteen in June this year. That is not what got me saved though; sorry to say. When I was twenty-two I was diagnosed to the point that the doctor wanted to do a hystorectomy on me. He told me he refused because I did not have three pregnancies at that time. After the test he done on me it made fertile and I became pregnant with my third child so I thought. At two months of being pregnant I was told that I was haveing twins. I was just dating their father and he had starting having an affair with my best friend sister and was leaving me for her. He came to the apartment where we was living at the time and I had a male guest. He proceeding into the house and asked no questions. When he came into the living room where my guest was he soon dismissed my guest and proceeded toward me. He came close to me and picked me up off the couch by my ankles. when he grabbed my ankles it turned me upside down and I almost became unconscious. When I called my sister to come and take me to the hospital (my doctor told me I had two seconds to tell him if I wanted to keep my babies or miscarry them). When I told him that I wanted to keep them, the father was not very happy. On the day that they were born he came to the hospital to let me know that "he wish they had died because I did not need any more children" So he took me to court to say they were not his. In court he found out they had ninety-eight percent his blood. I am now a proud parent of four girls. Ages 19, 17, 15, 15, at this day of May 21, 2001. I have turned my life over to God with the determination to go on in Jesus name and see what the end will be like. I have actually been born again for five years and dedicated and commited to my church as a inspiring missionary for God.

I was housebound for 10 yrs. with fear. I had many phobias and irrational fears. I was in therapy for a portion of those years. Nothing seemed to help. I ordered books on the subject and watched all the talk shows on it as well, trying to find an answer. I prayed just about all the time and only grew worse. I finally was able to make it to the hospital after 8 yrs of this, and a panel of 5 Drs said I was the worse case they had ever seen. They told my husband to take me home and that I would get worse and be this way the rest of my life. What a horrible thing to tell my husband and what a terrible prognosis for me. I didn't know for a long time they had told him this. He didn't tell me until I was on the road to recovery. I had lost 50 lbs at this time and only weighed 86lbs. I was a walking skelton and could barely get a few bites of food down me, because my anxiety level was so high. I could have died from malnutrition, the Dr told my husband. But after my 10 day stay in the hospital I somehow began to eat a little more and gained back a few pounds. But after I came home from the hospital it wasn't but about a month until I was back to not being able to eat much again. But not quite as bad as before, so I didn't lose all my weight I had gained back. Thank God! I had come to the end of the road. There was nowhere else for me to go for help. But I kept praying and asking God what is the answer to my delimma. One morning he answered me. I was getting out of bed and I heard him so planily say to me the word "giving". I didn't understand what all that entailed at that time, but in the years ahead, I found out.
Then one night I was surfing through the channels at 2 O'clock in the morning and came across a minister on T.V. He caught my attention and I began to listen. God bore witness with my spirit that I should DO what he was teaching. I had nothing to lose at this point, so I did, even tho I didn't understand all he was teaching about. Actually, it was things I had never heard before. But when you are desperate, and no where else to turn and you believe God is speaking to you, then you'll listen and do what he says, even tho you may not understand it all. From that point on, I began to improve and eventually was out of my house and back to living again. I don't mean to minimize prayer, but sometimes there is something we have to do along with our prayers to get results. Faith without works is dead, James said.
I thank God that he did for me what no one else in the world could do. I was healed and delivered supernaturally by the word, and the power of almighty God, and I will be forever eternally grateful.

I grew up in church and came to know the Lord at an early age. As a teenager, I began to rebel against my parents and against God. I started hanging around "non-Christians". They were considered the wild kids at school. I started experimenting with many things, one of them was sex. When I was 15 I had a boyfriend and I got pregnant about 1 month after we started dating. I was shocked when they told me the test was positive. All my friends and even some of their parents tried to encourage me to get an abortion. I was against abortion and I knew that I was going to have a baby at a young age. I knew that I was going to have to grow up fast and take responsibility. I married my babies father, because that seemed to be what was right at the time. My daughter was born in May of 1987. I was really happy and took care of her and everything. It wasn't easy, I'll admit, but God was with me through it all. As a 16 year old I really didn't take marriage very seriously, I mean how can a 16 year old take it seriously! He even took it less seriously than me and was unfaithful and to make a long story short, we were divorced by the time I was 18 years old. Here I was 18 years old, had a child and had already been married and divorced while all my friends were just graduating from High School! Talk about having to grow up. My mother was very supportive of me during this time, but she did make me take on most of the responsiblity of taking care of my daughter.
Anyways, I really still didn't get back into the right relationship with the Lord till a few years down the road. My mother had told me that God would find the right husband for me if I would just ask him to. Sounds simple, but it's true! I began praying and sometimes would read the bible. I still was just a "babe" in Christ since I had started backsliding at a young age, I never had really grown as a Christian. God spoke to me to get back in church. My daughter was 7 years old at the time and I really felt convicted to raise her in the way I had been raised, knowing the love and forgiveness of the Lord. When I was young, our family went to a church that was some distance from our home, it was at least 25 miles away. When God spoke to me to get back into church, I started thinking about churches that were close by, but God had other plans. I felt an overwhelming desire to go back to my childhood church; the one that was 25 miles away! One Sunday I decided to go to church. Just that day I met several wonderful people and I really felt at home there immediately. I went back every Sunday, Sunday night, Wednesday night and every function they had, I was there. I felt like I was definately where God had wanted me and I re-dedicated my life back to the Lord. I knew I would never leave him again, you see, I'm the one that left him, he never left me! About six months after I started going to church there, I met my soon to be husband! We started dating and were extremely involved at the church in the singles ministry and hanging around a lot of other singles. I was asked to teach the single moms Sunday school class. I was nervous at first, but I knew it was something that God wanted me to do. God blessed me and helped me to minister to other single mothers.
My boyfriend and I knew that we were meant for each other and got married about 8 months after we started dating. Soon after we got married, we decided to teach the 2 year old class at our church. It was challenging, but God blessed us and we could see the results of even teaching a 2 year old. Shortly after we got married we started having children and have had 3 since we got married 6 years ago. During our marriage, we've had our ups and downs in our Christian walk, but we seek God's will regularly and he has blessed us tremendously. My daughter is 14 years old now! I never will regret the decision I made to have and raise her. Right now I'm working hardest on being a wife and mother and on my "Internet Missions". God has been with me through everything and I will be forever grateful to him!
I grew up in a Muslim household where the name of Jesus was never spoken about. I never knew about the greatest love in the world during my childhood. At a young age I was molested at two different points of my life by two different uncles. I grew up very bitter and I stopped trusting in people. I turned my back on God never wanting to know him. I was only able to confide in my best friend, she kept me going in life and never let me give up. We got into an arguement and she went away to her aunts house for the weekend. I felt so bad I couldn't wait for her to come home so I could apologize. She never made it home, she died in her sleep. I couldn't believe my best friend of seven years was gone. I began to hate God and seperated myself from my family. By my freshman year of high school I became an alchoholic. I was very permiscuous, suicidal, stressed, paranoid and had a low self-esteem. The doctors diagnosed me with severe depression. They prescribed me Prozac and two other medications. By this time I was a junior in highschoool. I was told that if I didn't take my medication that in three months I was going to die because my body was failing on me. It couldn't function anymore. I stopped eating and I would only drink hard liquir, that was the only thing my body would accept (I weighed 85 lbs.) I wanted a way out but I didn't trust anybody to help me so I transferred schools thinking I could change my life on my own, but I just went back to the same routine. Until a few months later when a friend invited me to church and I decided to go. What did I have to lose? I remember it so clearly: it was a Friday night, in a Christian church, the service was in Spanish (and I don't speak spanish). They had an altar call and I went up to the altar and my friend began to tell me about the greatest love in the world. I began to cry (back then crying was a sign of weakness to me). I left the church feeling like a burden was lifted off my shoulder, for once in my life I was at peace. The next day I tried to block out what I felt and just live my life. It was too good to be true. How could Jesus love a sinner like me? I cursed him and turned my back on him so many times. What did he want from me? Was it just emotion? Is God real? I asked myself all the questions and more and I tried to tell myself it was fake, but kept on going because I was in need of help. After two months there was a night that changed my life forever. I was afraid to go to sleep because I thought I wasn't going to wake up the next day, so I got down on my knees and for the first time I told God I wanted to live and not to take my life. The next day I went to church and told the pastor I wanted to get baptized, two weeks later I was. I am 18 years old now and a freshman in college. I preach to everyone I meet and introduce them to the perfect love. The world had nothing to offer me other than pain and heartbreak, but Jesus Christ gave me a reason to live and he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15. I pray that God will put a burden in your heart to save the lost at any cost. There is a lost and dying world out there and you have the answer for them. We are in the last days and the world is crying out for what they can't seem to find, true love. Don't let a lost soul pass you by without telling them Jesus loves them, with faith it will touch their hearts and bring them to the feet of Jesus, I've seen it happen. I'm living testimony!
