Hi. I’m Amanda and I am here to share my testimony.
I grew up with drugs and alcohol all around me, even in my home. For as long as I can remember, drugs had been a part of my life. It was a way of living. And I became addicted not only to drugs and alcohol, but also the lifestyle.
At the age of 21 I had my first child, a beautiful daughter. And sad to say, I lost custody of her when she was 2.
Still, I could not break the addiction, even though it cost me everything.

I grew up the older of two children in a divorced family. My mom loved me and my brother and worked very hard to take care of us. It wasn’t always easy, but obviously I survived. I’ve always known Jesus thanks to my grandmother who is very Christ-like and taught me at an early age to love him and have a reverence for God.
But as a teenager I did like most do and I partied some and shortly before I turned 18 I got pregnant with my son Tyler and I gave birth to him on May 31, 2006. I had a difficult time with accepting the role of being a young mother, being that it was definitely unplanned and shortly after my son was born his father and I split up. But by the time I was 21 I was supporting us both on my own working in management for a fast food restaurant. I had a new car, my own place, and everything that Tyler and I needed or so I thought.

Hello. My name is Delora.
Revelation 12:11 says I'm an overcomer through the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony.
It's only by God's grace that I'm alive today. At the age of 4, I began being molested by my grandfather. He told me that he loved me and it was our secret, which I found out later that he did the same thing to my mom growing up. It was then that my perception of love was distorted. My dad was barely in my life growing up. His addiction to alcohol was greater than his love for me, which led me to feel inadequate. My mom was in and out of psychiatric hospitals, and had her own battle with addiction, which I didn't realize until I was 13.
