Here At Church

Jenny’s Story

I was in and out of churches not fully understanding what it meant to have a real relationship with Jesus. I eventually lived a life totally removed from Jesus. I started dabbling in party drugs, seedy nightclubs, mixing with wrong people, many bad relationships, all trying to hide a multitude of hurts!! Despite my mother’s spiritual influences and advice, my life was spiralling out of control. I became a bitter, angry and depressed person. I tried pouring myself into a stressful career, a way of not having to think about the dark place, pain and frustration I felt myself in.

I started questioning where my life was heading feeling totally removed from God and right at that moment, I felt a desperate feeling of despair. That night, I had a very real, disturbing dream, seeing myself carrying heavy bags and finding myself in the middle of a pool. I felt myself drowning, felt a horrible sense of hopelessness. I woke with a feeling of shock and concern by the dream.

I cried out to God, asking Him where He had gone in my life. Where am I to go? What am I to do? Little did I know that at that time, it was God drawing me back to Him. In the midst of how I felt I saw my week full of miracles. I changed jobs in 2 days to a position that was more satisfying and with less pressure. At the end of the week, I reflected on the miracles that had taken place through that week, amazed that it had been God and how incredible He had been. I suddenly realised, it was not God who had left me it was me who had left God. I knew then, JESUS was what I needed in my life. Immediately, I asked for His forgiveness and asked Jesus into my life. I felt a peace and joy that I had been searching for. I started attending Bridge Church and each week I grew closer and closer to God like I had never done before. After being water baptised a few months later I was given a wonderful opportunity to work fulltime for the church. I started working as Receptionist and I’m now PA to Business Manager and the Women’s Department and I started study at Harvest Bible College in 2008!

I can now say I am moving forward in Christ, that He is centre focus in my life. I finally found what I was searching for all those years…JESUS! He is the reason I smile, He is the reason my life is complete. All my thanks is in Him!!
