I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who shall go for us? (And I said) Here am I: send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people. Isaiah 6:8
So, here I am saved, sanctified, and filled with His Holy spirit.
But for 12 years I lived a lie. I grew up playing with my male cousins and being very athletic. Plus, I looked just like my daddy. So people called me tomboy and said that I looked like a boy when I was very young. I played sports, NOT because I was boyish, but because I liked basketball and track.
In high school I did meet girls who played sports and were lesbians. Eventually, I gave into the lies people had been saying about me and I lived a lesbian lifestyle for 12 years.
For 12 years I had this ISSUE OF BLOOD. I struggled with living the lie that I had become comfortable with and where I felt accepted or ACCEPTING THAT MY SINS WERE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
But on May 8, 1994, I chose God. I realized that I had a choice and I fell in Love with God as I read my Bible and built a relationship with Jesus. I said to myself, If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole.
God has kept me since that day. But I had to stay out of the clubs, away from my old friends and hangouts, and give up my old ways. I had to fill THIS temple (my body) with the things of God.
Since that day, I got involved in The Church; I graduated from Law School, Calvary Bible Institute, and Agape Christian Counseling Center.
No one is born Homosexual! And anyone who fully turns their life over to God and participates in their salvation can overcome any lifestyle and live for God!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
