Jessica
My name is Jessica Davidson and I am 38 years old. I am a mother of 2 children and I was in chained to drugs for 19 years. I grew up in a dysfunctional home where it was “normal” to drink and do drugs. I have seen and heard a lot growing up. At 13 was my first experience with alcohol. And I loved it. By 15, I was drinking every weekend with my sister and Dad. By 16, I was pregnant. By 18, I was introduced to meth and this took my heart and soul immediately. I was no longer the same person. This addiction led me to jail and rehab after rehab; 5 to be exact and too many times to count for my incarcerations. I couldn’t stop! I always returned back to the drugs and that lifestyle. I lost everything I loved. No one trusted me. I was a monster. And I could see no way out! All I seen was my mess I was in. Complete darkness. And accepting that this was my life. I did this to myself and I deserve everything I get! I believed all the lies of the enemy! When I got arrested this last time, I knew I had tried everything and I knew there was only One who could save me FROM ME!! And I surrendered to Jesus in Christian Co. Jail! And He met me where I was at! I called and HE answered!! I knew something was different with me, I did not want to cuss and I desired to read the bible so strong! All I wanted to do was learn of HIM! The doors open for me to go to Grace and Mercy and this is where I began to bloom! They taught me how to walk this out with Jesus! They gave me all the tools I needed to be successful. Most of all, I used my time there to grow my relationship with the Father! I learned who I was and that my identity is found only in Jesus! I AM BRAND NEW!!!!! He restored everything back to me that I lost! He gave me a great job where I get to share the love of Jesus daily! He filled me with this FIRE that cannot be put out! I am so thankful that He chose me, and set me FREE!! I WILL PROCLAIM HIS GOODNESS TO THE WORLD! I will run this race He set out for me! Thank you Jesus for rescuing me!!!
