oK BEFORE I START I WANT TO WARN YOU THIS IS VERY SAD.


MY LIFE WAS OK UNTIL I TURNED 11 YEARS OLD.

My life was turned upside down shortly after I turned 11. My mother started to Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Sexually abuse me.
The first time she abused me she threw me into the wall, threw me into the stove, punched me, and then put a bottle inside me to see if i was still a virgin. I ended up at the hospital. I had several broken ribs, a broken nose, broken jaw, and a broken cheek bone. The state took me away for 6 months.
They gave me back to her and things were ok for a little while.
Then all of a sudden one day i come home from school and get punched in the face as i walk in the door. she beat me so bad that day i was out cold for 3 days. I woke up in the hospital. My eyes were swollen shut. They told me both eyes were black AND blue, my jaw was broken in 6 places, my ribs were broken, and my fingers were broken. I spent 4 months in foster care.

The next time was even worse. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital. I had 2 broken cheek bones, several broken ribs, broken jaw, and several stitches in place i shouldn't of had to have them. I ended up in the mental hospital for drug and alcohol abuse. Then i was given back to my Nightmare of a mother.
On my 15th birthday she beat me very bad and then stabbed me. While i was in the hospital I found out i was Pregant. After i was released i was sent out of state to have the baby. I had to give the baby up for adoption to protect it. Then i was given back to mother again.
This went on for several more years.
Then when i was 18 i turned up pregnant again. This time i was old enough to decide what to do. My mother hten forced me to Marry someone that I really didn't want. He was a nightmare also.
Shortly after we were married He started to abuse me as well. After a few months HE beat me real bad and then cut me with a broken beer bottle. I was 6 months pregnant at the time. I got out of that.
Then On Nov.30 i went into labour but when we got to the hospital i stopped labour. They decided to keep me and induce labour.
Then dec.1 at 12 pm i was rushed into o.r. I had to have a emergency c section.

Then in 1998 I moved to Arizona and Married the love of my life. I have been with him for 17 years. minus a little bit.
God gave this wonderful man to me.
we have a total of 3 kids. and i Love them all to death.

I did drugs and drank from age 11. I stopped using drugs at 18 when i found out i was pregnant with our son. Then in 2004 I was in a very bad single car roll over. Little did i know the lady was trying to kill herself with alcohol and prescription drugs. Now i know i was wrong for being out drinking. Due to the accident I now have sever neuropathy.

Then Dec 15th, 2009 I had to have lung surgery. They didn't know what was wrong with me until they opened me up. they had run all kinds of tests and couldn't figure it out. So they did the surgery. They found that i had a fungus infection in the lower part of my lung. They took out the part that the infection was in and then sewed the lung back up and closed me up.
I will tell you this. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.

when all the bad things were happening to me when i was younger I didn't believe in God. I thought how could there be a God when my mother was abusing me.
I have since learned that he was there with me the whole time.

He is the one that saved me from drugs, from alcohol, and gave me my
wonderful family.

Through the surgery he was there with me.
while i was under anesthetic for the surgery i felt JESUS' hands on me. I smelled rain. I heard his voice as he prayed over me.

If not for JESUS I would not be where I am today.
