This is part 1 of an interview I done with Angie Caserta from Christ Temple Church stay tuned for part 2 to hear the ending of this amazing testimony!!!!!!!!!!!
Testimony
In thinking back about my life though really not a long life (26 years) I have come to the point where I can see Gods handiwork all over my life and how special and unique He made me. Oh how I know he made me for a purpose . Though I have always said this out loud it has not really became a revelation to me until recently.
To understand I will go back a little ways. My dad was an alcoholic and my parents relationship was very abusive not just physically but emotionally as well. I have heard and saw things that no child should ever see or hear but unfortunately this is often a common story. I have fled from gunshots and lived everyday in fear that one or both of my parents would be dead when I got home. All of this lead me to believe lies about myself. I never remember liking myself little long loving myself. I have tried throwing up and even starvation and I have tried hurting myself. I have been homeless though God always provided a place for me. I have made mistakes I thought I would never make. Though those mistakes now provide me with an understanding of Gods grace and a little more compassion on the sinner. In fact I wish I could take people back in mind to where I was so that u would truly understand just how much I hated myself. The sad thing is NO one even knew. I was the perfect Christian girl on the outside and on the inside I wanted to die and I hated everything about myself. I didn't realize what I was saying to God was that He made a mistake. I didn't just have low self esteem I had no esteem. And when it seemed like God was not answering my prayers not saving my dad and changing him and things were only getting worse my parents were now divorced my sister was now following his steps and my mom was doing things I couldn't even believe. I was allowing people to influence me in ways I shouldn't have.
However He had a plan. I got married to a wonderful man I have to amazing beautiful little boys and I have an amazing in laws. He took me out of the abuse and put me into an enviorment were there was love. People have not changed my life is not perfect situations have not changed but I have. He first changed me by sending someone to tell me how precious He says that I am that truly put me on this journey where I realized I am more than what the world would like to label me as that I was not destined to live a life with addictions. Though it has been 3 years since that God appointed time it was definitely a step in learning who I am in Christ.
But most recently when I thought I was ready to go out and change the world He sent someone who spoke volumes into my life. This was another God appointed life transformation point in my life under the disguises of helping others because He knew it would not happen any other way. I learned that I had to have his confidence on the inside and that this relationship was all about me and Him. This was not about what He could do to change my dad my sister my mom my husband my marriage but how He could change Me!!!
