it was 1969 ...

i had an awful pain inside when i was 17 -i'd already tried a lot of alcohol and drugs to try to kill it...
i'd been physically beaten since i could remember, and sexually molested since i was three.
i thought there was something terribly wring with ME ... and it hurt so BADLY !!!
(we didn't go to church) i started "seeking" some answers about 12 yrs old ... i heard about Jesus,
but i didn't know what is was all about, and i didn't know anyone who did !
at this time, i was poppin' 'bennie's' and 'dexie's' and drinking cheap wine, locked in my bedroom at home.
i was shaking so badly, and wanted OUT OF PAIN ! i went into the bathroom and tried to cut my wrist with a double edged razor. it wouldn't cut me, tho... i cut the counter and a towel, but it slid right off my wrist.
i went back in my 'black-lit' room, shut the door,and laid back on my bed and said:
"God, if you're up there?...i need help!"
a bright light came in my room, i felt the drugs leaving my body, and i was a little scared!
then, somehow, i knew it was the answer to my doubt-filled S.O.S.! I was INSTANTLY sober!
i felt something come over me that was unrecognizable. it took me awhile to define it... it was PEACE !
i had honestly never felt anything like it in my life! i fell asleep! IMPOSSIBLE with all the 'speed' i had in my system, but i woke up, got on the bus, and told my boyfriend: "Jesus Christ saved me last night !"
he laughed, and said i'd better share whatever i was taking... even my Mom didn't believe me!

That was the defining moment of my life ! i've never been the same since that night !
it is my most precious memory, but it never could be repeated or duplicated.
i do recommend it, however, to the most doubting of all!

thank you so much for sharing this powerful testimony. Our defining moment can never be repeated because it's so personal and from Jesus. You certainly had your dark night and Jesus came shining through. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you lorna!
