How did I get here?

Raised in a home where there was a lot of hurt, confusion, and rejection, I was born in the state of Colorado in a little country town called Rocky Ford. I lived for a short time in Ordway, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and a few years in Denver. I never really knew my father. I think I saw him perhaps three times in my life, but I was so young I do not remember much about him.

My mother was married eight times, not including all her boyfriends in between. We had stepfather after stepfather. My mother was young and had a hard time raising a family of four girls, so she placed my sister and I in an orphanage.

From that point, my life was like a top spinning out of control. I was in and out of detention centers starting from the age of eleven. Filled with hate, and hating who I was, I was like a time bomb ready to explode. By the time I was thirteen I was locked up in a place called Morrison, which is like a women's prison.

I fought all the time, in school and out. I had no control of my temper. I realize now without Jesus, I might have been dead today. I am very grateful for His mercy.

If God can change me, He can help,
and will change anyone.

My mother was very beautiful; at the age of 55 she still turned heads. But her beauty was her downfall, inside; she was filled with so much hurt. I am not sure what happened in her life as a young girl that made her feel the way she did, but it affected all four of us girls. My life only grew worse as I got older, without really knowing how to love or care for someone, I got married at the age of fifteen. I was a little girl, trying to be a woman, which did not work. Almost five years later, I was extremely unhappy. I did not know how to love, neither did my husband. I closed off more and more, and was filled with so much hurt and confusion inside. One day I received a phone call telling me my husband was killed.

When my husband killed, I was two months pregnant and already had a little boy two years old. I found myself alone, hurting and angry again. I was looking for love, yet never finding it. Without the Lord in your life, you are always searching for something or someone, to fill the void. But only Jesus can fill that void.

One day, a young lady took time out of her life and shared the gospel message of Jesus with me. I was coming out of a 7-11 store with a cigarette in one hand and a gram of cocaine in my pocket, the gospel message was planted in my heart. I did not receive Jesus that day, about seven months later, those words she told me outside that store echoed in my heart, "Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life." I walked into a little church for the first time on a Sunday morning, that day Jesus became my Lord and Savior. I share more in my book, "A Mother's Story.

I do not blame my mother for all that happened, I truly forgave her. I loved her dearly; she went on to be with the Lord on November 9, 1999. Before she died, I had the wonderful opportunity to share Jesus with her; she gave her heart to the Lord! I remember that day so well! Our TV program was going to air in Colorado Springs, Colorado for the first time. I remember laughing with her on the phone two days before, telling her to bring all the people she knew into her room and tell them, "This is my daughter, the wild woman preacher!" But my mother died that morning, the day our program was going to air.

I am truly a miracle of God's grace; a single mom, a murdered husband, now a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I preach in millions of homes and continue to pray for the Lord to open more doors. My goal is to preach one day by satellite into every home around the world. My story is needed in this age with so many broken homes and so many single mothers, they need hope and Jesus is the answer! Jesus broke the curse of generations from life and my kids, God is amazing! Both of my children, now grown, love the Lord with all their heart and ministry. I am so proud of them! I also am a proud grandmother of four beautiful grandchildren. Nothing is too hard for the Lord, He will help you through every trial!

Verse of The Day

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2)
