and sought comfort inalcohol at a young age.

about abandonment.

at walking around with all of my wounds

sealed very well with Band-Aids.

They challenged my walls that I had up

with pure, pure love.

Kerry was the first one

that told me about whatit was like for her

when she asked Jesusto come into her heart.

I never really read the Bible.

I never learned anythingabout who Jesus was,

why he came.

All I knew is that there was a God,

and something about him seemed right.

and was even a cheerleader and prom queen

at the high school she attended.

leave the center of my body.

and there were some days

Jesus had to drag methrough life, and he did.

But I chose him every dayno matter how hard it was.

"and set the captives free."

I experienced that.

God has been so real in my life.

I live a life of wanting to please God,

because he has been so goodand so undeniable to me.

He set me free.

He healed me, and swungthe prison door wide open.

It was just up to me to walk out.
