[Testimony] Filling the hole in my heart

I am only 15. I attended Shine this year with my sister. When I first agreed to come, it was just an excuse to get out of the house. After the weekend was over, I wished I could do it all again! It was amazing!

You see, I have a bad past. I know what you’re thinking, she doesn’t have a bad past, she is only 15. Well, by the age of 15, I had already slept with over 100 men. Some of them even 25 years old when I was 12. My mom’s boyfriend sexually, physically, emotionally and verbally abused me until I was 13.

I lost my virginity at the age of 10. And I was very big into drugs, smoking and drinking.

By coming to Shine, I learned that I can not fill the hole in my heart with anything but God. And it’s true! God can do miracles.

I am trying to stop doing those thing. Please keep me in your prayers and I love you. God is amazing!
