My name is Samantha and the fruit of my testimony is my children. My healthy, happy children, who know nothing of brokenness. I came from brokenness. Broken families, broken homes, broken hearts. That same brokenness would show up in my life as cycles of self-destruction, low self-esteem and the constant need to fill a void with worldly things like food, alcohol and shopping addictions. In my lowest valley, I knew of Jesus and wanted Jesus, but I still had him at arm’s length. Like holding Him out there would keep Him from seeing the real me and all my brokenness - there was no way Jesus could really love me, not all of me and everything that I had done. I was nothing but shattered pieces. He slowly removed all the worldly things I depended on until all I had was Him - I remember crying over my bible in Matthew just praying and believing that if I could just touch His hem, I would be healed too. If I could just touch His hem, my relationship would be restored. If I could just touch His hem, my children would be spared from all of my brokenness. The thing about Jesus though is that he will take that brokenness and use it for good and over the next year, I would learn that He calls me daughter, too. I was healed, my marriage was restored, and the generational curses of my family started to break one by one. My daughter was baptized. Then my Husband and my son. My Mother found Jesus again and began fighting her own generational curses. He used the same brokenness that had held me prisoner for years to save my entire family and I will praise His name forever.
