The Redemption...

8 years ago I was getting settled into a new life in Santa Barbara. I had just run from a mess of problems and friends in Northern California. The first week of 2001 I had shocked my body with an almost deadly mixture of drugs. Here I was now, living with my grandparents. Angry. Blue hair. Strung-out. Struggling with self-mutilation (including cutting myself) and most defiantly needing Jesus.

Fast-forward to today. Dominic Balli has been shooting a music video for his song "Warrior". Not only have I had the privilege of being an extra in the video but they decided to use my room to shoot a scene of a girl, hopeless, needing Jesus, who struggles with cutting herself.

That was me 8 years ago! And the Lord has drastically transformed my life into who I am today. Joy-filled, lover of Jesus :-)

Praise the Lord. I gave Him my hurt, my pain, my confusion, my sorrow. And He has been so faithful to perform mighty works of healing and restoration in my life.

February 2nd will be my 8th birthday of a renewed and healthy relationship with Jesus. Amen and amen.
