Yes twice my elbow was wicked and had to go down twice!

In the dark
I was raised in a really dysfunctional family. I had suicidal tendencies from age nine.

Jehovah sent me a best friend whose mother had been studying with the witnesses. This little nine year old loved Jehovah very much and talked me out of my depression by means of comedy relief and prayer.
She helped me to know who Jehovah was. At first I was like so who is Jehovah? I will never forget the look in her eyes when she exclaimed, “It’s God’s name!” Now that I think about it I really think it was that look in her eyes that made me want to know more.
She talked about Him all the time and I started to feel hope for the very first time in my little life.

Although I knew this was the truth the very first time I heard it...I wandered in the mire for about another 28yrs, I smoked I drank and used drugs. She never gave up on me the whole time. At least twice a year she came by to check on us. I would download all my madness on her and she would upload scriptures.
The love approval and purpose in life was there all along but it was too much of a commitment for me.

After I married and had a daughter. The world was too scary and I knew that we couldn’t protect her alone. I had my best friend study with my daughter. In the meantime my friend kept pressuring me to study... I wanted to but I still was smoking and doing drugs. I felt I needed to fix that before I would study. I was a pretty bad person so it’s funny I didn’t mind being known for those things but I didn’t want to be known as a hypocrite! She asked me how was I going to stop without Jehovah’s help? So I began to study.

I started to have little things happen that was too much of a coincidence to dismiss, I even gave Jehovah ultimatums to prove that he wanted me. Twice in one morning he proved he was listening.

Even after being baptized I wasn't really in the truth...I went through the study meetings ministry motions. It wasn’t until I became a pioneer a few years later that began to truly love and appreciate Jehovah and appreciate Jesus’ sacrifice and what it really meant to devote your whole heart mind and soul to Him.
I gave him my life and he showed me how I could live my faith.

I thought it would be easy but I fight imperfect tendencies almost every day.
It seems the more I struggle the more I see Jehovah work in my life.

I cannot call to mind what it is like to live a life without Jehovah and I pray I never will.
I look forward every day to introduce those to Jehovah who want and need comfort especially if I can help them see that they are not alone, if I can change my direction so can they.
