I grew up in Pinellas County, Florida as the oldest son of an Independent Baptist pastor. I was saved at the age of 9, and baptized some time later. I became interested in pornography when I was about 14 or 15. My interest soon became an addiction. This continued, even while attending 3 different Bible Colleges, and throughout my first marriage. Not being satisfied with what I saw and read, I began a series of affairs during my first marriage. Still not satisfied, I acted out in a number of other ways, each a little bolder than the last.  My “fun” lifestyle came to a screeching halt when I was arrested, charged, and found guilty of Misdemeanor Battery. Due to it’s sexual connotation, it has cost my family at least $10,000, we lost some friends, it caused strain in my family and it has cost me a couple of job  opportunities. I also lost a good paying job as a result of this testimony. However, because of His amazing grace and mercy, God chose to bless me, by bringing me back into a close relationship with Him. First I had to come to a place where I realized that I would never be able to find what I was searching for outside of Him. When I gave my desires to God, wholly and completely, He began to heal me from the addiction through the pure mercy that I found in His unconditional love. Having finished my Bachelor’s degree in Counseling, I am pursuing a Master’s of Divinity degree through Liberty University Online.

I grew up in New York, in a home where Mom had accepted Christ later in life, and Daddy was an atheist, not accepting Christ until I was in my twenties. Like David, I accepted Christ as a child, so church and God were always a part of my life, but only as far as it suited me. This lifestyle set me up for unwed motherhood, a failed marriage, and personal disgrace. In 2003, I moved what was left of my family here to Florida to be near my sisters and my mother. My failed marriage ended when the state troopers came to remove my ex-husband from our house, as a result of charges of molestation. And, since I moved here to Florida, a niece came to live with us, under similar circumstances. I just knew this was going to turn my life around. Well it did, but not how I planned it! After some serious indiscretion on my part, God was finally able to get my attention. On December 17, 2003 I finally surrendered to the Lord’s sovereignty as a result of a very real encounter with Him. Praise God, He has brought me through, to a place of forgiveness and to an abundant life, beyond anything I could have hoped for.
