My life before Christ is hard to explain. I was 6 years old when I accepted Christ as my Savior and Lord. Prior to that I practically lived at the church. My mother worked at the church we attended as a church secretary. My father was a deacon and was active in the church bus ministry. So the church was like my second home. I was blessed with Christian parents and generations of Christians in my life. However, in spite of these blessings, I strayed from the Lord at the age of 18. I continued to be very active in church and was faithful in reading my Bible, but I began to explore in the area of sexual immorality. The practice of immorality in my life lead to health problems and eventually depression. One night I was so depressed over the way I had messed up my life, attempting to live 2 different lives (one for God and one not for God) that I attempted suicide. I placed a gun to my head, and as I did something told me to check the bullets. My dad had always told me to leave the gun revolver on an empty slot so that if I ever dropped the gun it would not go off and hurt someone. So I knew that if I was going to kill myself that I had to make sure the gun was not on the empty slot. However, when I checked the gun for the bullets, all the bullets were gone! I frantically searched my nightstand for the missing bullets, but there were no bullets to be found. I cried myself to sleep that night. Soon after this incident I asked the Lord to forgive me for my sins and for the way I had been living my life. I rededicated my life to the Lord and I enrolled in several Bible studies at church allowing the Holy Spirit to heal me. Through His healing power my life was changed.
