Hi my name is Michelle. I got your email address and the
web page from my husband Chris. I read the testimony
on that page and it truly touched my heart. I can relate a
lot to that. I have been saved now for right at 6 years and
I have been far from perfect. I used to hang around with
people that did drugs and I would smoke weed to fit in
and so people would want to hang out with me. I was
raised in a somewhat religious family. My Grandma was
real religious. But I did what I wanted to, and didn't care
what anyone thought. I dropped out of school when I
was 14 and started to smoke pot. Of course you don't
want your family to know how far out there you are. But I
would visit church just to please my Mom and My
grandma, It still didn't affect me because as soon as I
would get out I would light up a joint and go on about
my day. Then one night while I was riding around with
my friend and her boyfriend we got a bag of weed and lit
up, after about the 3rd joint I started to feel funny, not
like a normal high, but I couldn't feel my arms or legs, I
was blacking out, my words were slurring and I just
couldn't keep my self awake. I was begging them to take
me to the E.R. I thought I was going to die and they
were laughing at me. They then told me it was laced with
crack and pcp (angeldust) I was freaking out and I still
don't remember where I was. I prayed and I said God if
you will bring me through this Ill never smoke pot again.
Well While all this was going on my other Grandmother
is at the hospital dying and my parents cant get up with
me. A few months later I began to have panic attacks
and at that time I didn't know what was going on. I went
to church the next night which was Wednesday. I then
gave my heart to God.I had to go on antidepressants,
but God brought me through. They said I was depressed
from where my Grandma passed away. A year later I
started going to clubs with my Aunt and I met a guy
there and after a few months of dating I got pregnant
with my Daughter Harley. I can honestly say Christian
life is not easy. A year after she was born her Father
took us and dropped us off at my Parents house and I
rarely hear from him. After that I back where I needed to
be with God. A few months later a friend introduced me
to Chris. God had a plan and when it seems like you are
down and cant make it God sends someone to help you
carry your load. We got married Aug of 2005 and We
now have a 2 year old and a 4 month old. We try to be at
church every Sunday and Wednesday and I pray every
night that ALL of our children wont go down the path
that I went down. Chris took Harley in as his own and
she calls him Daddy. Thats my saving grace. We have 3
children and I thank God everyday for his blessing on
my life. Well thank you for listening, I hope it can bless
someone out there.
