My Testimony Is My Truth!

I was raised a Roman Catholic, so God wasn’t unfamiliar to me growing up but I truly don’t feel like I had a personal relationship with him. This led me to picking and choosing which parts of the Christian Faith were convenient for me to subscribe to, allowing me to live a life that at the time was sexy, fast, exciting but unrighteous in a million different ways.

In April 2015 I decided to either allow God to help me heal and go on a journey with him or allow the devil to ruin mine and my then 4 year old son’s life. My decision to follow him came three days after my 30 year old husband passed away suddenly of an asthma attack. I looked at myself in the mirror and I heard God say ‘Follow Me Now!’ The decision in that moment was easy and I often say that the biggest gift I was able to give my late husband ( who was a believer) was that through his death I and our son found Jesus and salvation.

The journey God has taken me on has been difficult yet incredible. I have had to trust him every step of the walk through grief to glory, I have had to let go of chains that he demanded I break so that he could work through me. I have had to allow him to take the reigns when I was broken and suffering through mental health issues. I have had to make painful decisions to let go of people and things that were not right for me, even though it hurt to say goodbye to my old life I can now look ahead.

I was baptised in April 2019 and now celebrate everyday how beautiful God is and how being introduced to him has changed my life for the better. I have a future full of hope and I couldn’t be happier. I made some big life decisions and left my six figure corporate rat race career and set up a consultancy that promotes equality and inclusion in the workplace. I get to coach women on how to let go of their past and step into a new version of themselves so that they can live a life fulfilled. I also work for a digital evangelism ministry where I get to help other people be introduced to Jesus every single day, how cool is that! Alongside all of this music is my heart and I sing on worship team and serve at kids ministry in my church. Best of all I teach and show my son how beautiful a relationship with Jesus truly is.

Finally I get to say goodbye to a love I was blessed to have known with beautiful memories to cherish that will sustain me for a lifetime. But now I have been able to let go and let God send me a new love, someone that I can share the rest of my life with and look forward to making new plans with... a new chapter of my life is waiting and even though the path to get here has not been easy, boy oh boy has following Jesus been worth it!

It’s time to shed any fears I have and proudly say...Jesus you are my first, my last, your my everything!!!!!

Stay Blessed,

Ax
