The Experience

Hello … I’m a member of the spiritual family here at the Experience and would ask that you take a few minutes and read on. I haven’t always been a follower of Christ … in fact I only believed in a “higher power” … whatever that was. Growing up I didn’t have much exposure to God but plenty of exposure to what Satan has to offer.

I have a family history of drug abuse, mental abuse, abandonment and much more that yet has to be dealt with … which I am sure is not surprising to many of you … you see all that and more wherever you go. I left my seriously broken home when I was at the young impressionable age of 16 … only to carry out some of the terrible dysfunction that had been passed down from my parents and then me to my three kids.

Please know that I don’t blame anyone for this dysfunction … at least I don’t now. But merely two years ago I was as broken as I could be. Being in control is my addiction; codependency combined with Satan’s discouraging words and temptations pushed me into a state of serious depression and anxiety. I felt I had nowhere to turn, no one to talk to, and no one who would understand. I didn’t think I was worth anything ‘cause that’s exactly what Satan was whispering in my ear … all the time!

But by the grace of our wonderful Savior, I am here and all I did was make a choice … I asked Him into my heart; told Him I couldn’t bear the pain any longer … He asked me to let go and give those burdens to Him … I am now 36 years young, have my three wonderful kids and have a husband that only God could bless me with.

So, I ask you … Do you struggle? Have addictions? Bear any dysfunction? God wants you to give those burdens to Him. The Experience family is a family of radical followers of Christ and would love nothing more than to meet you and introduce you to who God really is!
