My name is Veronica and I am a faithful believer in
Jesus Christ. My struggles are with my mind, old
habits and other character defects. My
life prior to starting the recovery process was miserable. I was in denial. I
refused to recognize shameful sins that I was committing. I was rebellious, rude and very
disrespectful. I could not relate to people in a healthy way, others were wrong
and I was always right. The lowest point in my life was when I started
prostituting myself, drinking and using drugs. I was disobedient and very
hurtful.
Through the CR program God opened my eyes and my
heart. He gave me the opportunity to know Him, I just needed to come to
prison to find Him. I came to prison wounded and defeated but this is where
I found the hope I needed for my life, for my heart. My life has changed
greatly because of the growing relationship that I have with Jesus; my way
of thinking and speaking has changed. Thanks to the Celebrate Recovery program
I have learned to put God’s word into practice in my own life. I know with certainty that God loves me,
cares for me, and has forgiven me.
Today, I can say that I love God with all of my heart, I trust Him and I
delight in worshiping Him. My desire
is to be with Him and to do His will.
Celebrate Recovery has taught me how to confess my sins. I am very
aware of the presence of God in my life and I am excited to share this
good news in my group, in my cell and where ever I can.
