My testimony -Angelica E.

Where do I begin? I guess at the beginning I was born January 4th 1989 a Wednesday. And my mom said she went to go look at me and I growled at her. I'm not sure that's even true. When I was 2 my dad had to go to a court hearing about me and child support because the DNA test said I was his and he thought how could that be when my mom had her tubes tied. I didn't really grow up being around my dad because everytime he wanted to see me my mom wanted to be there. And she was like stalker crazy over him. So I never knew my father. But I did have some type of father figure in my life my Papa Tony. He was the best we went fishing and did father daughter stuff and I know he had a drinking problem but one time he told me to go to the truck to get him a beer from the ice box and when I got to the seat there was a Barbie doll on the seat and that's one of my most precious moments. Now when I was about 6 years old I was being sexually assaulted by one of my mom's guy friends. I won't mention his name. And I don't want to go to much into detail but what he was doing was wrong and I didn't know.I was just a child. I just thought everybody did that. Now during this time I had a best friend I'm going to call her Sally. Me and her was like peas and carrots. And we had so much fun. I miss those times when I was with Sally away from my predator. And then at the age of 13 Sally moved to Oklahoma with her family. And then me and my mom moved to the other side of town so the sexual assault stopped and a year later my Tata Tony died. And then I started failing in school. I had to go to summer school for Jr. High and then high school was so difficult I only had 2 credits senior year. So I quit school to work at Burger King. And then I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and they would go jack from people's houses. I would be lookout. And then I  started doing it by myself and one day I took a girl with me and we got arrested 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. So I did 3 months. And came out 18. I bought my first pack of cigarettes. And didn't even smoke them. And later that year I lost my virginity. Then I started being promiscuous and sleeping around. I was 19 now and I started using meth. And I was addicted. And then one day I met a guy I'll call him Andy. Andy and I got married and quit doing drugs. But our marriage didn't last that long not even a year and we got a divorce. Then I went back to meth and picked up smoking cigarettes. I even became a stripper and started doing solo webcamming. I did meth off and on for years but when I was 21 I started drinking. So now I had 5 bad habits. And I wasn't loving myself because I wasn't valuing myself. Belittling myself for pleasures of the flesh. It's because I didn't have God in my life. And I did all that until the age of 28. And then I met Michael and he told me that when he saw my pictures and videos on Facebook that he fell in love with me. And when I talked to him on the phone I told him I was addicted to meth. And he wanted to help save me. He's my angel on earth. Because he also brought me closer to God to the truth. And I am saved.We have been together for 4 years now and got married last year on September 7th 2021. And I can't wait to walk with him, walking with Jesus Christ. And spending the rest of my life with him. God used Michael to save me from myself. I even forgave my mother for neglecting me when I was being assaulted. So all the glory be to God. Thank you Jesus for keeping me. I love you with all my heart. I hope my testimony can help others to realize God is good. God is love.
