I cant keep my mouth shut when it comes to telling everyone how this message of "Obey God with all of your heart" (not some of your heart) has Rocked my world for the better! No other church I have been to taught this. That is why I stopped going! I have lost over 40 pounds, no longer do drugs or long for them, I don't have panic attacks, and don't feel alone. I lived with my mom until I was 14 years old and my parents split when I was 4 or 5 years old. I remember that day and what I had on. My life changed that day and I went through a lot. I dealt with sexual abuse and other forms of sin throughout my childhood. So, as a teenager I just went on my own rebellious way. I would sneak out with boys, do drugs, and later run away a lot. Finally my dad was fed up with me and told me to go. I had so much pride that I left and never went back. Even when there were nights I was hungry and homeless, I did not want him to know that I could not make it. I was desperate that if I met someone that night I would just move in that same night. I later got into heavy drug use and made some horrible decisions. I wanted out and knew there was a God and knew that surely this is not it. I had so many wrong sayings like "I'm never getting married so if something goes wrong I can pack my bag and go" or "I was known for that" or "Why eat diet food - if I get fat I'll just keep eating because it wont matter...I'll be fat already." Then God led me hear and this message is the REAL DEAL!! I came with an open mind and heart and you will not believe how HAPPY I AM...For ONCE IN MY LIFE!!! I have learned that there is a GOD and we must have a relationship with Him in order to make it to heaven and in order to get His blessings on earth. I just needed to change what I loved...and now that is GOD ALMIGHTY!!
