I Praise God that I heard about this truth JUST IN TIME, for I believe I would have died within a year or two. I was severely bulimic and addicted to drugs and had anxiety attacks that were so severe I would lay on the floor and scream. I wanted to jump out of my skin. I HATED MY LIFE AND I WAS SO SCARED!!! My husband would hold me and pray for me and NOTHING HELPED. I wanted to kill myself but I figured if I did, I would surely go to hell and that would be even WORSE than my hell on earth.THEN.......THE BEST NEWS I ever heard was from God's Word that if I did not obey God, I would not make it to Heaven (I always knew the Bible said that, but false leaders kept assuring me that as long as I was still "trying" to be good I was okay in God's eyes), and that we COULD obey, AND that we MUST obey!! On January 17, 2003 I stopped purging and stopped excessive exercise and stopped dieting. AND I MADE THE CHOICE TO OBEY GOD!! I stopped lying and cheating and lusting and it was so COOL!!! I no longer need drugs to calm me down, lift my mood, or give me energy. I stopped taking vitamins -- I was taking around 44 per day and spending around $250 per month on them. So since I used to spend $20 or so per binge (and towards the end I would binge around 3 times per week) and since I'm not doing the vitamins I have a lot more money than I ever had before! I thank God for all of the saints that led me into this truth and helped me so much in what once was Toledo Remnant. And for Ruth Kubichar for showing me by example how to be a submissive wife and put God first. And for Tedd Anger and of course Gwen Shamblin who continues to lay down her life for the Saints. As the song says, I have truly "been waiting all of my life" for this -- AND I FOUND ZION, PRAISE GOD!!!
