Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
I would like to introduce myself first and foremost. My name is Pamela, and I am a sinner, saved by grace. I am redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb of God. I have a relationship with my Lord and Savior, and I am sealed by the Holy Spirit! This is me now, but it wasn’t always.
I was not raised in a Christian household. I was born in the 60’s and raised in the 70’s if that tells you anything. Please understand that I don’t blame my parents. Oh, I used to, but they needed Jesus as bad as I did. I was a rebellious child, and adult for that matter. If my parents told me not to do something, I couldn’t get away fast enough to do it, even if I really didn’t want to. I started drinking and smoking at a young age and lost my virginity. By 16, I was smoking pot and had had an abortion, all I regret. I was always belittled and told I would never amount to anything, so I lived up to those expectations, or lack thereof. I have been married multiple times and have had numerous relations that meant absolutely nothing. I started using harder drugs and I was a mess. I look back over my life and I can tell you that God was with me through it all or I would be dead and spending eternity in hell. I thought about committing suicide at one point in my life, but God had blessed me with two sons that kept me from doing just that. I am ashamed to say that I was not a good Mom. My life was all about me, and they paid the price. I am so thankful that we have reconciled, and they have allowed me to play a huge part in the lives of my grandchildren. I have been married to the same amazing husband for 25 years now and I am thankful that we have God leading us. I have shared all this because I want you to know that I know there are so many just living life, going through the motions and just spinning their wheels. People are battling demons, even if they don’t realize it.
I want to tell my story because I want people to know that there is hope! There is deliverance and freedom! I have so much more to share so my prayer is that you would continue to read my blogs and get others to do so, especially the ones that are struggling in life. I believe my gift is encouragement and that’s what am here to do! So, stay tuned for more of my story, and God’s amazing grace and His Word! I pray that you will be blessed beyond measure, and you will see that you can have life more abundantly when you surrender to Jesus Christ!
