A little over 14 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. 14 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 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 to overcome their obstacles and thrive in life. (Join us and get on the newsletter HERE!: http://savagelifeskills.com) I love fulfilling my calling to help people overcome their obstacles.
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 14 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.
