I don't know what reason brought you to this page at this very moment. There is a reason. Its up to you to find it. See... not a second passes that Heavenly Father doesn't know about. Not a thought, not a dream, not a wish. Nothing. You are in "that moment" right now and its going to have an impact on your life...maybe not at this second, maybe not in this day.

I realized this 4 months ago when my life came to a screeching halt. Everything I knew in my life was turned upside down and tossed violently about until it literally came apart. I lay in the mess that was left of my life with only 2 choices...fix it...or end it. I tried to evaluate what was most important and what I had left. I had my testimony, my life and two of the best people in the world.. my parents. That was it. My testimony was what saved me. I didn't gain it from living on others light in the gospel. I have nothing in the contents of my testimony that I didn't earn the hard way. My parents were the remaining contents to the cement that saved me. I turned to God to help with the cleaning up that was inevitable in my quest for some semblance of order.

I can't even begin to tell you how hard I prayed. I can't begin to tell you how awful I felt. Words do not describe the emptiness and the hopelessness that I experienced. I know where rock bottom is and I even carved my name into the bottom of the barrel...it says " I WAS here". I will never look back.

I prayed for His help and He granted it. I prayed for His enlightenment and He granted it. I prayed for His forgiveness for my past and He granted it. I prayed for his love and he Gave it to me freely. I asked for His protection and He is protecting me. I asked for help casting out the powers of the adversary... and He cast them out FOR me. The scriptures say that if we knock, it shall be opened and that if we ask, we shall receive. I testify to you that He is bound to follow that law and if you truly ask in humility and righteous desire... He will always keep His end of the deal. Heavenly Father never fails. NEVER.

If you find yourself in need... maybe even at the bottom of the barrel reading all the names of those who have been there prior to you, remember this: You are not alone. He knows every thought and wish. He knows what you need and if you ask, He will provide. Be true to Him and He will grace you with blessings of which you could not imagine. I testify of this to you in the Holy name of our Saviour and Brother, Jesus Christ... Amen
