Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever gone through something and came out saying "how did I survive this?" That has been my story for years. I would go through something awful and think to myself "how did I possibly survive this?" The answer is simple. God Never Took His Hands Off Of Me! Even in the situations I got myself into ...His hand stayed upon my life. As a child I was molested and abused, which opened the door for other things to happen. It seemed like the attacks were coming back to back. Looking for ways to cope with suppressed hurt and to feel loved, I became an addict and promiscuous in nature as a teenager. Witnessing death and having near death experiences as an adult, ending my life did not seem too bad. But then it happened.... I was given a reason to live in the form of a baby. Becoming a mother was not quite the answer to all of my troubles as I thought. Where was my faith? I was brought up in the church; didn't I know God for myself? No. I did not. I knew about Him based on other people's stories. I had to really sit back and think back to every trial that came my way. Trials really do come to make you strong. And in every possible trial that I endured, I never had to endure them alone. God was right there the whole time. Even when all I had were tears and screams to give, Holy Spirit made intercession for me. No longer ashamed of my testimony. Yes, that happened! Yes, I did it! Our testimonies are not for us... but they are for other people to see the manifestation of God's glory in our lives. We overcome by the blood of the lamb, and the words of our testimony! I believe God even in unfavorable situations. This is my story, what is yours?
