A little over 15 years ago I had 2 failed marriages, was recovering from an alcohol and cocaine addiction, had been working in the sex industry for over a decade and had recently moved back to Kentucky from Mexico City – where I had lived for 8 years – to find myself and heal from the things I had done and from the things that had been done to me.
.
After much convincing from my bestie – I walked into a small church and expected to be judged but I was only met with love. 15 years ago today on April 27, 2003 – I saw Jesus for who He really is, finally understood that crazy thing called GRACE and gave my life to Him. I realized that no one has ever gone too far for the love and acceptance of Jesus.
.
Since then, I worked hard to get out of a 13 year career in adult entertainment. I launched a non profit to support women who are in the sex industry. Currently we operate in multiple cities.
.
I met and married my amazing husband and have gotten to be a part of thousands of lives changed.
.
I survived Breast Cancer.
.
We launched and pastored a church plant in South Beach.
.
I’ve led worship in some amazing places.
.
I started Savage Life Skills, a company that inspires and equips a community of women with new skills.
.
And all of this is great. Not possible without Jesus. He gives me the strength to carry it out. In the end none of my past, present, future, things I do, etc defines me. Just Jesus.
.
I am far from perfect, but I am having a blast in this crazy life and I love my family, friends and people deeply and have the capacity to do so.
.
I have peace in my heart that only Jesus can provide.
.
Life is beautiful. Love is even more beautiful. Thankful for this day 15 years ago and I am looking forward to the future!
.
If you have any questions about what a relationship with Jesus can look like – reach out! I’d love to talk to you about it.
