Story #179

My mother left when I was 5 and my father remarried another woman by the time I was 6. She was my nightmare along with her abusive teenagers I went through alot of abuse because of alcohol and drug use by my stepmother and her children. My father drank also but was not home much due to his job as a truck driver. My father had the greatest parents in the world and because of them we learned at an early age about GOD.
When I was 14 yrs old I was in a bad place mentally as a young girl feeling unloved and unwanted. I wanted an end to what I felt was going to be forever. My grandma and a lady at the church got together and sent me to church camp. I was saved there by the Holy Spirit! I knew then that I was a child of God and he did love me and that what I was going through was temporary. I had my whole life in front of me.
I got away from walking my path but yearned to have it back. COTM has helped me get it back! Thank you GOD for blessing COTM and our church family!
