Hi! My name is Rene' and I wanted to share how God healed me from prostitution, drugs and alcohol. I am a single mother of three. I have one son and two daughters. In my life, God has truly done a work in my life. Being a woman, its hard to be love and appreciated by people. I had years of lonely issues for as long as I can rememeber. Trying to be accepted by this society and people around me. After having my first two children, I began feeling that I didn't belong here anymore. Raising children all by myself was very hard for me. Dealing with loneliness I thought that I needed a man to keep me from being lonely and I end up pregnant with children. With the overwhelming of what I was going through, I felt life was hard and I was willing to take my life by overdose of pills. A family friend stop me in the process of during pills so that I didn't take my life. Being rejected and lonely will cause you to do many different things in life. In the process of being rejected and lonely, I became a stripper which led me to prostitution, alcohol and drugs. The reason for the prostitution and stripping was for the money to buy alcohol and drugs. As I was during these things, I began to sell drugs in the process which made the situation no better. I was really in so deep that I thought that this would keep hiding what I was feeling at the time. Stripping was a way for me to get attention that I wanted that I wouldn't feel lonely anymore but I really was still lonely. Over the years of being in the streets of life and finding myself in a place where I didn't feel love, The lord step in and heal ed me.
One day I felt tired of trying to do it all by myself and not wanting to talk about it with anyone about what I was dealing with in my life. I was depressed, lonely and still feeling rejected. I can remember a particular time in my life where I was at a convenient store and I met this lady (which I don't know who she was or where she come from) she was talking with me about the Lord. She invited me to church and I went. I listen to the teaching that night on how God can heal you from you past situations. I couldn't believe it but I know deep down on the inside I needed to hear that from someone. God change me that night and I have never been the same again because I have accepted JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR!
