CHS Father’s Day campaign

My dad passed away a month after I started working for the Children’s Home Society of WV in 2007 and that’s when I found out that he was adopted through the agency, along with my aunt.

They are currently running a Father’s Day campaign to raise money for the agency from now until June 21st. If you would like to learn more or donate, check out the link below. Thanks 😊

To write means more than putting pretty words on a page…

“To write means more than putting pretty words on a page; the act of writing is to share a part of your soul with the world.” – unknown

This is why I feel called to write. God has given me a love for journaling and poetry. I find it very therapeutic, but he’s also given me a desire to want to share my testimony with others. One of my spiritual gifts is encourager. So, I want to share my story with others in hopes that I can encourage someone else with some of the experiences that I’ve gone through.

My Testimony: From addict to free

Seven years ago, I made a post on Instagram and Facebook praising God because He delivered me from smoking and a 20+ addiction to pornography and erotica. Shortly afterwards, a family member sent me a private message rebuking me and made me feel bad. So, after that, I stopped sharing my testimony and sticking with the little everyday miracles that God was doing in my life. 

Well, I’ve since learned that the enemy is a sneaky little devil and will use anyone, especially family, to stop you from being used by God. I also know that men aren’t the only ones who struggle with this issue and that if my testimony can help others then I’m willing to share it. I’m not proud of my past, but I do know that God exists and that He can take what the enemy meant for evil and use it for good. 

I shared my testimony in more detail in this blog post from 2014 if you want to learn more. 😊
