“I dare you, God, to fix all of this,” Theresa cried out one last time to God. Overwhelmed by guilt and shame, and desperate for a miracle, she walked through the doors of Bayside West Bradenton Campus. Reluctantly, she sat in service and began to hear a story of how God moved in someone’s life and brought freedom to their dark places. In that moment, Theresa said, “I knew I wasn’t alone and that I needed to connect with other people whose stories were like mine. Theresa’s journey of healing and freedom has been filled with valleys and mountaintops, but no matter where she is on the journey, she is supported by genuine friendships and encouraged to keep going. Her motto: “Life happens but God can turn anything around for good.” “Never give up,” Theresa says. ”Sometimes we think this journey is unicorns and rainbows but it’s not, it’s hard. Stick with it. Be patient and know that God really is working even if He seems silent. He is working and will reveal it in the right time. Trust that He will bring people on the journey at just the right time.”
