It couldn't have been anything other than God
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2
Marcella has an amazing story of God's faithfulness and ability to radically impact a life. We are so grateful to her for her partnership with the Promise FM, her encouragement and for sharing her story:
“In my addiction, all those years I was alone. I was never really alone, but I felt like I was because I wasn’t looking in the right direction. I was focused on what I wanted, what I wanted to do. I was looking in the wrong direction.”
“Eight years ago I broke my back, & my legs & my arms .. I had 11 broken bones in my body. I was in a really bad car accident & I ended up waking up a couple of days later … sober … but I was lost, I was alone .. I didn’t know what I was going to do. But once I was self-sufficient I was able to go into a shelter, because I was jobless & I was homeless, & lost. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. They made you go to counseling there. Every day you had to go to chapel & we had a 5:00 curfew, so it gave me structure...it allowed Christ back into my life."
“Me, personally, with 12 years of addiction, Christ is the only way, the only reason I survived. The ONLY reason.”
"During my pregnancy I was never in any pain. I broke my 12th vertebrae in my back, my back never hurt. My legs never hurt, I had broken my legs. I never went into any kind of physical therapy, but I never had any physical issues making it thru such a horrible car crash & breaking all those bones & still being alive & not being in pain .. & then I was, like, satisfied .. & it was a miracle to me. It couldn’t have been anything other than God.”
“The Promise FM keeps me grounded, for sure. Every day, hour after hour after hour, when I’m at home, when I’m at work, when I’m in the car, just anywhere. If I’m at work & people are angry or my staff are just being mean, The Promise keeps me centered. I don’t know what scripture it is that when you take your eyes off the Lord you start sinking..That’s what The Promise does..I get to hear other people’s testimonies & other people’s stories. I’m not the only one out there struggling..I’m not the only one dealing with angry customers, I’m not the only one..I’m not alone. The Promise reminds me there’s something better.”
“I want my daughters, my other 3 daughters when they come back looking for their mom, I want them to be so proud of the Christian woman I’ve become. I want them to have so much love for me because they’re going to see how much I love the Lord. I don’t know just how everything would have worked out .. I just feel without people pushing and poking me .. I know that God did..does have a plan for us and I’m just so thankful for people not giving up on us.”Marcella
