My TESTimony - Faith Sisters Scrapbooking Gallery

This was pretty hard for me since I can still remember some of what I had to go through but, at the same time, I felt a renewal of strength and appreciation for God's unconditional love. The photos were set in an order from the point I was born to where I am now. The butterflies I used were to signify the change and
transformation that took place in my life when I was brought out of darkness and into His marvelous light. I literally felt like a new creature, old things passed away and all things became new...Thanks for looking! God Bless!

Journaling:
I was born into this world not knowing that I would face so many hardships and challenges especially at such a young age. Everything in my life seemed to be perfect up until my mother passed away when I was 11 years old. It left me feeling so abandoned, afraid, angry, and alone.
Even though I was raised in a Christian home and was taught about Jesus in Church, my whole world felt like it fell apart after losing someone so dear to me. In fact, everything in my life after that went downhill. We lost our home, I moved from place to place, I lost interest in school and almost didn’t graduate, I was involved in
abusive relationships, and pretty much became suicidal and didn’t care too much if I lived the next day. I felt like I had nobody. For 14 years, I grew apart from God. Actually, I was always running away from Him despite all the divine encounters I had with friends, coworkers, and even strangers who I believe God placed in my life to help me find my way back to Him. Even though I knew He was the only One who could fill this void in my heart, I still kept going my way and finding myself stuck in the same situation
over and over again. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that I finally surrendered my life to Jesus. I recall saying to Him “If you’re real, then change my life.” And He did. I was
never the same again. I had such a hunger for God that all I wanted was to be free from all the things that were keeping me from enjoying the life that God had intended for me. It amazes me to this day, that no matter how lost I was, no
matter how broken I was,no matter how blinded I was,He still forgave me. Even more, He restored all that was lost in the past and gave me the gift of a new life,and what I’ve always dreamed of, a new family in Christ Jesus...
