Being raised a Catholic, attending Catholic Church, and going to Catholic school for 12 years was my early foundation. I always knew the Holy Trinity, the commandments and some Scripture, and I loved and respected all of it. I tried to be a good daughter to God and a good person. But as sin would have it, I made many mistakes, from breaking commandments to getting divorced, among other sins, all while getting more and more lackadaisical about my commitment to God. After losing my mom, struggling to be the best mom I could be as a single parent to my precious children, and my job making working Sundays mandatory, I was stressed to the max. I felt so empty and realized I wasn't meant to take this on all alone. I needed Christ back in my life full-time, the way God intended it to be!  I started back to church, praying for His guidance, and God helped me find myself in Him. About 5 years ago, He led me to GBC. Where I saw Him at work in face after face. I joined ministries and Bible studies, and for the first time in my life, my Love for Him became a relationship with Him. Now I choose to be baptized, because I want to outwardly express my decision to honor my Lord and Savior, following Him like never before. He who died for my salvation, I want to be a disciple for Him. I've watched the miracles He has and continues to perform in my life countless times. Since my son's passing, He has held me up, been my comfort, and my hope. I am alive in His Word. When Jesus stated, "I am the light of the world,” in John 8:12, those words, that promise, should not be taken lightly. He absolutely is an unimaginable light that lifts you from the darkness when you follow, surrender, and let Him. I can't begin to tell you what an unbelievable feeling it is when someone compliments you on something you've done, and you look at them with a smile on your face that comes from your heart, and undoubtedly, knowingly respond, “It's not me, It's all Him.” This amazing walk of faith, full of His mercy and grace: I want to share it with everyone.
