Do I Even Matter?

CHALLENGES BUILD CHARACTER "The Lord upholds all those who are FALLING and RAISES UP all those who are bowed down." (Psalm 145:14 NIV)

FALLINGHave you ever felt like you were falling?Have you ever felt like no one was listening and no one cared?Have you ever felt that living was so unbearable that the only way to stop the pain was to end your life?Maybe you are feeling this right now.

Years before I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I experienced the most painful, difficult, and darkest time of my life. Things were so unbearable that it took every ounce of energy I had just to survive. I became severely depressed, fell, and hit rock bottom, attempted to commit suicide, and ended up strapped in the Psychiatric Unit.

RAISES UP God can raise us up without us even realizing it is happening. God started to raise me up while I was still a patient at the hospital ironically leading a "life changing session". Shortly after returning home, the Holy Spirit led me to a Christian church which ignited a passion in me to have a relationship with God, study His word and share it with others. God had a plan for me, and He has a plan for you too. Not only did God raise me up but he put it in my heart to write this book and share what I learned.

This book is about my testimony as well as others who have fallen through affairs, addiction, divorce, financial difficulties, loss of loved ones, orphanage, and suicide. And beautiful stories of being raised up through family reunions, marriage resolutions, recovered addictions and discovered newfound strengths by having a relationship with God. We want to share with you our stories of God's goodness and faithfulness.

God touched your heart today. There is a story written here that He wants you to read and I pray that you give it a try. God is lovingly waiting to hear back from you.
