Kathleen's story Part 2


God allowed me to go through a spiritual experience of complete darkness that I can only describe as a living hell. In the midst of this journey, God took over and fought for my soul.  As He rescued me, I began to experience a peace that all the words in the dictionary cannot describe.


God gave me a vision, I saw myself standing at a podium, sharng my story.  On one side of me was a man - but I could not see his face, on the other side of me were my 2 boys who had grown very tall and afar off was my ex-husband.


After I was placed in the locked jail cell, I curled up on the floor in a fetal position.  For some reason unbeknown to me; they were playing Christian (angelic) music over the loud speaker.  The music became so loud in my ears, it woke me up.


I began to get a tingly feeling all over. All of a sudden a burst of energy ran through my body and I quickly jumped to the floor.  I raised my arms and hands to the sky and right there surrendered my life to this God that I did not even believe in.


It was at this moment, I became brand new and the restoration process began.  Within he next 2 years, all of my legal issues connected to my arrest were resolved.  The Lord set me free.  


Some would say, you could be bitter, but through all of this, God has made me 'better'.   All that I had experienced was preparation for the ministry that God had planted and birthed in me, Grace Ministry of Helping Hands.   God has anointed us to take the message of freedom and hope to women who are living on the streets of Jacksonville, Florida. Women who are in bondage to drugs, alcohol and sex.

Remember the man in my vision whose face I couldn't see, guess who that turned out to be?


Since surrendering my life to Jesus, God has blessed me with a wonderful man and we were married on June 7, 2008.  


Settling in married bliss, little did I know that what lied ahead.  In July of 2009, my boys left for a surfing trip to Costa Rica supposedly to return on August 5th; but they never did and I later found out via an email from my older son that their dad had taken them and fled the country.  


You may not think so, but God was also working behind the scenes in restoring my relationship with my boys.....

MAKING A DIFFERENCE A couple of months ago, I went to a church event to do a book signing.    The person in charge directed to a spot where I was to set up.  Ah, I thought I have the best seat in the house, right next to the biggest grill I have ever seen.  I introduced myself to the chef.  In between the turning of his ribs, chicken, and Italian sausage; we found out that we had something in common.  He loves to cook and feed people and me, I just love people. Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-stop food and fun, w e were able to share a message of hope

Tammy's Journey 'Through'

Image
Some years ago, Tammy had a good friend pass away from her battle with breast cancer; this unfortunate event caused her to begin to think about the importance of mammogram screenings. In September 2009, while lying in her bed; Tammy had an itch on her left breast and while examining herself she felt a lump.   Soon after, Tammy made her way to the doctors.  An hour  and  a half after her visit, her cell phone rang, the nurse informed her that the doctor saw something suspicious and ordered a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) (a) on her right breast.  Tammy gave a perplexed reply, “You mean my left breast that is where I felt the lump.”  The nurse asked Tammy to hold on for a second, when she returned to the phone she said, “No, the right breast.”  As Tammy headed for her MRI appointment, she encountered additional tension, you see she is claustrophobic.  During the procedure, Tammy chose to repeat over and over again, Isaiah 41:10, Fear not for I am with thee.   Once the assessment w
