God Is Good

My name is Hannah, and I want to testify openly about what God has done for me. My story goes like this. 

I was brought up in a home where my father is a Muslim and my mum was a Christian. So we the kids were left without guidance spiritually. I grew up knowing nothing about relationships both with God and man and this messed up my life greatly from the beginning. 

I had my first boyfriend when I was 10. I had sex for the first time when I was 11. I knew that God frowned upon such things but u still did it anyway because I didn't know better. I was never without a boyfriend in my life then. When I was 14 I met Kingsley. He was 7 years older than me but I felt he loved and understood me more than anyone in the world. We would fool around occasionally and not mind what people will say. Then I got pregnant, this was when I knew that the devil is in existence.

Kingsley denied me to my face. He said he only offered to teach me math. Even the people that always saw us together could not defend me. I was left alone, with a baby growing in me when I was merely an adult. This caused my mum hypertension which eventually lead to her early death. In my third trimester my dad kicked me out and I was all alone. 

I was taken in by a church that funded and took care of me till I put to bed. They also provided a house for me and opened a small business for me. I felt blessed beyond measures. But this was not the end. I felt like my life had ended. I was lost and frustrated. At the age 15 I was a mother that was still a child and I had very little source of income. When I was 16 I became a prostitute and this was how I leave for 10 years. I made a living in this act till I met my husband. 

He picked me up on the street and I thought he wanted sex but when we arrived at what I thought was a hotel, it turned out to be a church and he turned and told me that he didn't know why God lead him to carry me but please I should stay for the service. 

This is when God arrested me. I gave my life to Christ that day and I was seeing one pastor for counseling. My husband was so supportive even when he didn't know I was going to be his wife. I told him about my past and my son and he was so comforting about it. Even when he wanted to start a relationship with me I thought it was for sex, but no. For the three years we courted before getting married he didn't touch me. He respected me and over looked my past. He accepted my son as his and now my son carries his last name. 

At the end of it all, I have am meaningful relationship with God and man. 

I have never really shared this story with anyone but I felt it's time for me to come out and tell people that our God loves us. I read a post on this blog that was insightful (something has to change). If you find Him, He can right your wrong. He can turn your darkness to light. He can make you what you never expected to be. Just believe in Him and He will guide you. That is what I did and from that day Jesus changed my life. I hope this will be helpful to someone
