I write this story while still in complete awe of Gods goodness. I can’t believe how far God has taken me since I began my surrendered walk with Jesus last October. I am currently out in California I just finished attending an Iris school for Music, art, film, and acting, it truly blessed me and I gained so much more freedom and got into deeper intimacy with Jesus. While out here attending school I applied for the World race and found out recently that I got accepted and I am truly stoked about the radical love adventure that I will embark on in January with Jesus! I want to share with you how far God has brought me since October! Last year I was addicted to alcohol and I was an exotic dancer. I was drinking heavily six out of seven days a week and when I wasn’t drinking I was shaking, having withdrawals, and throwing up. I was suffering from sleep paralysis constantly and I was in a very dark place emotionally for a period in my life. I kept getting my heart broken continuously which lead me into a feeling of worthlessness. I remember buying a book called “The power of I am” by Joel Osteen and I started reading it during that period of my life and I learned about how much I was loved and a seed became planted into me. I started journaling to Jesus and then about a month later Jesus came and spoke to me while I was giving a private dance at the gentleman’s club. Jesus said to me “You are my beautiful daughter and I love you so much, I need you to stay sober for me because I want to do amazing things in your life.” In that moment my alcohol addiction was lifted and I knew that my life had completely changed forever. A month after that encounter Jesus opened my eyes more and more as I stayed sober and I realized I didn’t want to be an object of lust anymore so I left dancing behind and plunged into a deeper relationship with Jesus. I was led to apply for the World race last October but I was told to wait six months and spend more time growing closer to Jesus. I needed the last six months more than I ever knew, I received so much inner healing from the Holy Spirit! So, back in June the six month mark came up and I began asking the Lord if he still wanted me to apply and he kept sending me signs. I saw globes everywhere I went for a whole week! So after applying a second time, I was accepted into the World race and now I embark on this Journey this January! It amazes that God has taken me from being addicted to alcohol and exotic dancing to being a missionary in less than a year! My biggest prayer is that my story sets others free! There is nothing that the powerful blood of Jesus can’t redeem! I want my story to show people the freedom and joy that is found in the Love of Jesus ! I can’t wait to carry the love of Jesus to eleven different countries next year! I truly appreciate every donation made to this mission trip and every prayer over me while I prepare for this journey of fundraising and preparing for the trip! I love you all and I am beaming with Joy as I think about you all reading this!
