Ashleigh’s freedom from addiction

WELL, MY LIFE WAS A MESS AND SO WAS I BEFORE COMING TO MARY’S SONG. MY STEP-MOM FOUND OUT ABOUT MARY’S SONG AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT WHEN SHE AND MY DAD PICKED ME UP FROM JAIL. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS MISSING FROM MY LIFE IN A PAINFUL WAY.

WHEN I FELT THE LORD AT MARY’S SONG, I KNEW MY LIFE WAS FOREVER CHANGED. JESUS CHANGED ME IN THE MOST AMAZING, SWEET, AND TENDER WAY. HE HAS COME INTO MY HEART AND MADE ME SOFTER AND LOVING AGAIN, AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL.

WHEN I WAS IN MY ADDICTION, I STAYED AWAY FROM MY FAMILY. I LOST TWO JOBS BECAUSE OF MY CHOICES. MY PLANS UPON GRADUATING ARE IN THE LORD’S HANDS. I LEAVE MY PLANS AND MY LIFE UP TO HIM. I DO HOPE TO BE IN MINISTRY AFTER I GRADUATE. LOOKING AT MYSELF NOW, AFTER BEING HERE ALMOST FOUR MONTHS, I MUST SAY HOW BLESSED I’VE BEEN. I HAD ANGER ISSUES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS AND JESUS KEPT LOVING ME AND TOOK AWAY ALL OF MY ISSUES. I AM NOW A BEAUTIFUL, HAPPY, AND GODLY WOMAN.
