Liz : Searching for love

I grew up in a family that lacked nothing, however when I was 13 my mother started drinking and became an alcoholic. This produced a terrible environment to live in. My family lived in fear and shame of what each day would bring.

I dreamed of a white knight rescuing me, to live happily ever after with children of my own, but I knew I would never bring children into the world I was raised in. So I left home at 18 looking for love, but became like my mum, drinking nearly every day. My life was a mess. I had nowhere to go and no one I could trust, until one day in desperation, I cried out to God to help me. Someone told me how I could know God personally. I was baptised by full immersion just like Jesus was and received God’s Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, a language I had never learnt.

Since then Jesus has mended my heart and my mind, taken away the pain and placed me in his loving family. The huge void in my life has been filled, God gave me my hearts desire when I married my husband Neville and had four children who fill our lives with love. I thank God for putting joy and peace in my heart.
