I was born and raised in the little town of Eureka. I have recently gotten saved this past year in 2013. I don’t remember the exact age I started going to church; I’m thinking about 7 or 8. And I have Mrs. Donna Bennett to thank for that. She picked me up every Sunday for church. If it was not for her I don’t know if I ever would have gone to church. I enjoyed church very much. I was there every Sunday morning and every Wednesday night. After I got older I drifted away from church. I was not hanging out with the right people or doing any of the right things. I even stopped going to church. And as hard for me as this is to say. When I graduated from High school it only got worse. I was drinking all the time, and I was into drugs. I did a lot of things I knew were wrong but everybody else was doing them so I thought it cannot be that bad. I thought I was in the IN crowd. And boy did I think wrong. I finally stopped all of that at the age of 20 and at 21 I got pregnant. But when I had Shyla that changed my whole perspective of life. I looked back on myself and thought why did I do all those things, what was I thinking. I started back going to church in 2011, when my manager at work asked me to attend her church in snow hill. So I started back to church and me and Shyla were there every Sunday. Then last year I decided that I wanted to come back to my hometown Church, Mount Nelson. I couldn’t be happier that I am back here today and I have Shyla to bring here with me. Towards the end of 2013, one Sunday morning I was sitting in church and at the end of the service when Pastor Jack closed the service. I just broke down, and I knew it was my time to get saved and ask the Lord to come into my heart. I still struggle with things today, but I know the Lord has my back. I am working on a better me. And I feel so much better. I want to thank everyone at Mount Nelson for welcoming me back.
