The devil wasn't finished, God wasn't either.

Jennifer and her children with our Pastor and his fiancé.
Jennifer was baptized on Mother’s Day, along with 2 of her children. We are incredibly thankful for all the God has done in her life.
This is her testimony in her own words…
My name is Jennifer. I want to tell you what God has done for me.
I want to start out by saying God blessed me with an angel before I was born; my grandmother, Margret Steens. I’ve been covered with the blood of Jesus since the day I was born.
I’m still living off my grandmother’s prayers today.
Back in 2013, Satan really tried to steal my soul. I was heavily addicted to methamphetamines, and I was involved in prostitution. I lost everything I loved. I wanted to die.
But God had a different plan for my life. In 2014 I was pulled over in Tennessee. I had been up for 28 days straight, and I had a pound of meth in my car and two handguns.
God saved my life that night. I was taken to jail, and I was not able to call home. My dear mother was so worried, she did not know if I was dead or alive.
The devil was not done with me, yet. My mom came and got me out of jail 30 days later. That’s when my life took a turn for the worse.
I took my addiction to another level. I felt lost, I knew my life was over, I knew I was going to prison. That’s when I started using a needle to get high. That was one of the worst times in my life. I didn’t care about anything in my life. I was not thinking about my 3 kids or my dear mother.
Once again, God stepped in and saved my life. Eight months later, federal Marshalls picked me up. I knew then it was finally over. I knew from the moment I was arrested that my life was about to change for the good.
I was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison and 5 years on federal probation. When that judge said 10 years, I knew in my heart I would not do 10 years even though the devil was telling my mind, “I got you now, Jennifer.”
Five years and 8 months into my 10-year sentence, God brought me home to my kids. I’ve been delivered from my drug addiction. I was restored everything I lost and more. I have a great job. I have my kids home with me.
I’m so blessed!
I believed Jeremiah 29:11-14. I understood it. I knew what God was going to do.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
