- Depressed for eighteen years
- Verbally and physically abusive towards her children
- Attempted suicide
- Started attending The Universal Church
- Now free from depression and with a happy and healthy family
After the death of my mother I became depressed and aggressive; everything and everyone bothered me. When I got married I thought things would be different, but they weren’t.
With my life not being the way I wanted it to be, I was very frustrated. I began to take it out on my children. I would verbally and physically abuse them, thinking that it would make me feel better, but it didn't. During the day I'd live out my own nightmare, and at night I would have nightmares. Various times I took bottles of my father's asthma medication in an attempt to end my life.
I couldn't understand why others were happy and I was not. I was plagued with bad luck—I seemed hopeless. Because of this unhappiness I concluded that there was no God.
One day my sister invited me to The Universal Church. That day I spoke to God like never before, and told Him that if He really did exist that He had to show His power in my life. I went home happy—the problems were still there but I was overwhelmed with joy, something I could not explain.
I was so desperate for change that I began to attend every day, and God began to change me—beginning with my attitude. I wasn't so explosive, and I wasn't taking my anger out on my children anymore. I had been depressed for eighteen years, and that depression turned into joy.
My dad had died from asthma, and all my children had it. I was afraid they would also die from the disease, and so I began to faithfully attend on Fridays to pray for them. Now they no longer have asthma!
God has completely restored my life. I am more than happy with what He has done for me, and know He has a lot more to give me.
