Before coming to the Freedom Home, I always found my value in what other people said or thought about me. I was a chameleon just going with the crowd around me. I didnt even know myself. I was raped in highschool and I dropped out after 9th grade. Next thing you know I was on meth at the age of 14 and that soon turned to using whatever drugs I could get, all of the time. I was in an abusive relationship for nearly 5 years, and I lost both of my kids during the same time period. I hit my rock bottom in May 2023, my step dad called me from prison and asked me what my plans for the future were and I broke down and tried to kill myself for the 3rd time shortly after we hung up the phone. I just had no hope for my future. I somehow ended up in Princeton, WV almost being killed by my then boyfriend. I ran to the neighbors house and I called the Freedom home and they drove 7 hours to come and get me. While they were on their way I got cold feet and ran. They prayed and the Holy Spirit directed them to me and they brought me back with them.
Now I know how to see myself as Christ sees me and I know that I am victorious, I’m a champion, I am His masterpiece, and I’m called by him. I know that I have hope in my future now and I have a purpose and I know that He loves me unconditionally, all of the time.
