He changed my life.
He made me grow up.
He made me look at things differently.
He made me a better person.
If any of you know my testimony, you know that God has truly taken me from death to life. I was a thief, I used and abused drugs and alcohol. I treated the people who loved me like garbage. During the most difficult times of my life, I lost my family and I cannot blame them. However, God is ALWAYS faithful. Those relationships are restored and my family can see that I am a new person in Christ.
The one thing my family prayed wouldn't happen.... happened. I got pregnant. I was young and afraid. I had not spoken to my mom in months, yet she was the person I called for help. She drove immediately from Boulder to Colorado Springs to get me.
Fourteen years ago today, I was beyond blessed. When Linden was born, it was like a new birth in me. God always knows what He is doing. Even though we may not be able to see or understand why things happen, He does. The Holy Spirit changed me that day and if it were not for that day; and that child, I would be in prison or dead. There is no doubt in my mind. So, even though my family prayed for the opposite, God knew what it would take to get my heart focused on Him. I strayed a lot and it took a few years for me to listen to His voice. I am so thankful He doesn't give up.
Happy Birthday Linden!! You mean more to this mamma then you will ever know. He saved my soul, and you changed my life.
I LOVE YOU!!!
