My Testimony:

I was born in the Island of Trinidad and Tobago and was raised in a Muslim home. During my early years I attend a Elementary Hindu school and I took part in their worship and culture. Outside of school i attended the Hindu temples with friends and also took part in their prayer, rituals and culture. On the other hand I went to Mosque periodically and outside i took classes from my uncles and cousins on the basics on Islam. At the age of twelve my grand father visited me in one of my dream and told me to prayer to Christ, but being that i was young and naive. I woke up and ran to the kitchen to tell my mother I have seen my grandfather and I wanted her to know what he said to me. Anyway, during our conversation she looked at me and said that grand father would never tell me to prayer to Christ, because he was still a Muslim when he passed. After our conversation she told me to go back to bed, so i did and ignore the dream until God brought it back to me later as a teenager. At the age of sixteen I was married and abandoned with child, later I tried to commit suicide. Nevertheless, I was unsuccessful in my attempt to kill myself. I recalled as i was getting ready to drink poison I heard a voice that spoke powerfully to me and this was what i heard. "NO you are mine." In that moment I was shaken, so I threw the poison out and went to bed with a broken heart. Few weeks later I met one of our neighbor's who questioned me about my sadness and weight loss. While I was telling her my story, I broke down in tears and in that moment she witnessed to me about Jesus Christ. From that day 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 life Emerges in the spring

Mother and child matures,

Linked heart to heart

Nurtured and molded favorably.
