Hi, I'm Kay and I'm new to this group, but I'm not new to the goodness and mercy of God. He has blessed me, loved me, protected me, and healed me, so many times, I could never thank him enough, but I want to spend the rest of my days trying.
I come from an abusive home, physical, mental and sexual, and I didn't know if I could or how to, trust anyone. God taught me how to trust and he helped me to forgive myself and others for the things they did to me.
I started singing at a young age and loved it, but the abuse was still in my life so at 15, I stopped church and started singing country music. I ran away from home at 16 became a mom at 17, mom again at 23 and divorced at 25.
During this time, I was in and out of church, but mostly out. In 1980, 4 days before Christmas, I lost my entire home to fire, but God gave us our lives. Still, I stayed out of church. April 16 1981, my eldest son stopped breathing. He had just turned 2 the month before. The doctors gave him up, but God breathed life back into him and let me have him back. A perfectly sound baby boy with NO brain damage.
Jan. 4 1985, God gave me my second son. When he was 2 years old, I divorced his dad.
Not long after the divorce, I met a man that came to love my boys and they did him also. But he like me, didn't really know God. That came when I was 34 years old.
I had started singing in bars but I always felt out of place. I didn't want to be there but I wouldn't stop going because that's what my husband wanted. I kept telling God that I would go to church when my family went with me. He had other plans.
I turned 34, December 26 1995 and on April 21st, I suffered a severe brain-stem stroke. The doctors told my family that 9 out of 10 people that had this kind of stroke, didn't make it and the ones that did, were vegetables.
Thats the day I REALLY met God for the first time. I called on the name of Jesus and he walked into that emergency room and he's NEVER left me since.
I spend my time singing his praise, playing piano for my home church, writting songs every once in a while, along with a little poetry, writting the church news letter, cooking for church functions and I went on my first crusade August of 2002 to South America. Oh, and needless to say, I didn't die and I'm not a vegetable because my Heavenly Father had the last word and his word was LIFE.
I have SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR and I want to tell everyone I meet.
Thank you for listening.
God bless you.
Kay
