My Testimony:

I was born and raised into a Muslim family in the Island of Trinidad@Tobago. During my early years I attend a Elementary Hindu school and I took part in many of their idol worship and rituals. At the age of twelve my grand father visited me in my dream and told me "to prayer to Christ." After the dream ended, I woke up and ran to my mother to tell her I have seen my grandfather. However, in our conversation mother told me my grand father would never say to prayer to Christ, because he was a Muslim and he had passed on as a Muslim. After our conversation, I went back to bed and ignore the dream until God brought it back to my remembrance as a teenager. At the age of sixteen I was married and later abandoned with child. Months later I tried to commit suicide but, I was unsuccessful with my plot to take my life. I remember that day I was getting ready to drink poison when I heard a voice that spoke "NO you are mine."  In that moment I was shaken, so I threw the poison out and went to bed that evening with a broken heart. Few weeks later I met one of our neighbor's who questioned me about my sadness and as we spoke she introduce me to Jesus Christ. That day I accepted Jesus Christ into my life and I never turned back.

Life unlike Any Other

Sixteen and married

Ignorant on the concept of what love or life truly is

Arouse, undefiled virgin

Longing for acceptance and security

Surrender all self, as it duty.Seventeen.

Impregnated and abandoned

Unwanted fetus conflicts with lifeEmerges in the spring

Mother and child matures,

Linked heart to heart

Nurtured and molded favorably.
