I was born in San Diego and ended up in Cowpens as a teenager. My parents never taught me any good morals of life. I married a preachers son. I lived in hatred and fear all the 15 years we were married. My two girls were 15 and 4 when I finally divorced. Feeling free and ,myself, at last I started drinking. I learned about depression because Sherry (my oldest)became scycotic because of the divorce. Over the years I drank more and more. I married Ted. I was drinking so bad I started having blackouts. Getting two DUIs and not remembering started to wake me up. Ted threated to divorce me. I was drinking on my job where I met Linwood Harris. I was drinking a pint of rum a day and then more if I could get it.

My ex-husbands dad led me to Christ. No one told me of a realationship so I just sang, went to church and followed my pastor. All of those years were wasted. I knew I would never be free doing things my way. I knew I needed Jesus.

I tried to quit. Four times I put myself in greenville hospital. I finally visited FBNS and gave my life back to God. Now I am free and forgiven. It was very hard to forgive myself, it was then I realized that Jesus gave His life for me so that i could be free indeed. I thank God for putting Linwood Harris and Charlotte Daniels in my life for showing me the love of Jesus.
