Hands Off! He's Mine

I was born and raised in KY. When I was eleven my family moved to CA and made numerous trips back and forth until I finally made the decision to plant my roots in CA to this present day. I attended a church from the day I was born that my grandfather pastored and where my father was a missionary. I grew up serving the church where ever I attended and still do today in a church in CA where I have co-pastored with my present husband since 2009. I have a saying that I'm not religious I just love the Lord. You'll see in this book how I lived for years hiding so much anger, hurt and abuse until a pastor's wife counseled me to share it with others. That's how this book was born. Writing and reading it has helped me heal and gave me part of my testimony. I lived a very sheltered good life within the walls of the church until I got married the first time. It was then that I learned how the other side of the world lived. Within the first three months of marriage I learned how an addict behaves and for the next seventeen years engulfed destruction and abuse. My book shares how much torment one life can bring to so many others as well as the scars left behind. But through the years I also learned how to run into the arms of Jesus and to trust Him completely. He blessed me with a great voice and I started using it at the tender age of three and I still use it now to worship Him. To date I have wrote quite a few songs, including; "The Painter" & "God's Already Done What He said He Would Do." I cannot leave out there were seven beautiful children that went through these years with me and it was only because of God, them and my family that pulled us through. This book takes you on that journey with us of what we experienced and the moment our escape route came into play.
