VOL 49, ISSUE 1. MARCH 2022
Hi! My name is Jessica. I am currently in the
Agape Home program. I just want to thank God
for loving on me and showing me that He is
alive!
When I was six I was molested many times by a
family member and at eight by another member
of my family. My parents were addicted to
drugs during my childhood years. My father was
also very abusive to my mom and to his children.
When I was twelve, I was smoking cigarettes and
by fourteen I was smoking weed and drinking
alcohol and going to parties. I started smoking
meth at age fifteen. I grew up around drugs,
alcohol and partying so to me it was the normal
thing to do.
I was pregnant at age eighteen by a guy I barely
knew. We stayed together for eight years and
had three children. After each birth I went back
to using meth to escape the pain.
After hitting rock bottom, I thought my life was
over. I had charges in four different counties,
two different states, had been to prison and lost
my children. I cried to God to please help me.
Little did I know, He really did hear my plea! If
I had been out of jail one more week, I knew I
would be dead. I went to jail again and God
opened doors for me to get to Agape Home. By
state laws it was impossible for me to come here
because of my charges but with God nothing is
impossible.
Since I’ve been here I have been born again,
baptized and am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I
am learning here to let go and truly let the Lord
have me. I am so thankful for what the Lord has
done in me and is doing in my life!
