My Testimony

I've been searching for True Love ever since I can remember. I couldn't find it in my family, my friends or lovers. 

​

In my 20's, I also started searching for Truth. I couldn't find it in atheism, agnosticism or Zeitgeist. 

​

I was raised Christian by my parents. I was sick of the rules and the hypocrisy within myself and others in the church so I decided to denounce God entirely at the age of 18. I chose the world over God and I was lost. I wandered through the world, participated in its lifestyles and became a slave to it. 

​

Then by the age of 23, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 1. I was put on medication and had been to the mental hospital 7 times. 

​

I still found myself running away from everything, searching for something. 

It was running away to Humboldt County and going through a traumatic event that brought me back home. 

​

Back home, God sent me wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ to bring me back to Him.

I found myself repenting and getting baptized in water and of the Holy Spirit. 

​

Soon after, God freed me from medication and bipolar. 

​

I stand before you today, a new creation in Christ. 

Free and Abundant 

​

Thank You Jesus
