HIS-STORY  ‪#‎UNCHNED‬…

I believe it is our nominal service to share our testimonies with one another and to be a transparent witness to one another. I share where I was and where God through his Son, Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, has brought me & my family in a very short time frame.

Reading a memory post from 10/18/2012 and thinking back over the last 3 years. I see the hand of God was upon me even though I had turned and failed Him. His love for us is AMAZING and REAL!!! He has consistently turned my situation around, as I have submitted each area to him.

He has ‪#‎Restored‬ me. I have been ‪#‎Delivered‬ from crack-cocaine and 15 prescribed meds. ‪#‎Healed‬ multiple illnesses, including my mind.‪#‎HeRestored‬ my calling, home and transportation. My ‪#‎Marriage‬‪#‎Restoration‬ came forth. AND HE continues to ‪#‎RESTORE‬ family relationships. HE IS WILLING, BUT YOU MUST SURRENDER IT ALL TO JESUS!!!

Today, I reminded of Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. If you are caught in a sin, don’t allow the enemy to twist the fact that Gods grace and mercy is not His co-signing on our sin. He is gracious and merciful, but tomorrow is not promised. Don’t wait another day. Surrender to his still small voice. HE LOVES YOU!!! BE #UNCHNED IN THEE!!

I need your help…as many of you may already know, I was an 8 year Crack Cocaine addict, until May of 2005. I relapsed once at the 7-month mark and was arrested for Possession of Crack Cocaine, as a first offender. I got back on track and stayed clean until Oct of 2011. In this, I have devastated my husband, my family and have temporarily lost custody of my children until I can prove myself, via a DFACS case plan. I am not wanting anyone to feel sorry for me. I have done this to myself. I am willing though to pay the price, in which, because of my backsliding, my husband left our home in March, and since I have been a housewife all along, I had put myself in a position, whereas, I cried out to God for his help. I needed provision for April’s rent, and on April 19th it had appeared as if God met the need. I received a check in my ministry mailbox made out for $850.00, it was dated April 17th and had been signed. The only thing missing was pay to the order of, so excited that God had made away, I called my children and praised God in this miracle. I have received money a time or two for ministry in the past. I honestly thought this was God. If I hadn’t been using, I would have heard when the Holy Spirit nudged me to take a look at the front of the envelope, that the PO Box number was 1985, not 2085. But just as in the Garden of Eden, I was tempted and heard the enemy say, “Wow”, isn’t that great God made sure the postmaster got it delivered to the correct PO Box. Well, I was had. I soon found out a month later that check was not for me. Thankfully Father God delivered me once again from the stronghold of cocaine, on May 7, 2012. But of course, I still had to pay for what I had done. So on May 16th, I police officer drove down my street, looking for Ann-Margaret Wilson, and I quickly told him that was me. As I began to speak with him, it dawned on me that I may have been implemented in a crime, but he advised I needed to come down to the police station and answer some questions, so I went swiftly to the station. In my mind, I couldn’t think of anything I had done to get into trouble, I had been keeping my life free from breaking the law for almost 6 years and the check I had cashed with my landlord, never even occurred to me that it wasn’t meant for me. I was arrested for Felony Theft-by-Taking and spent the next 92 days incarcerated at the Hall County Detention Center, Gainesville, GA. Well, from the time I got to the jail I cried out to God saying, “LORD, you know I don’t steal intentionally, I am not a theft, but I did write my name on the check and I did turn it over and sign it and I need your help with this. I am asking that you reduce my sentence or have it done away with altogether, and so when I went to court, my Daddy in Heaven, took care of this and it was reduced to Misdemeanor Theft-by-Taking. Although, I have paid for my crime to society, I now have to be overseen by a probation officer for the proceeding 12 months. I am fine with all of this because I know, in the end of all of this God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirt, are with me, and will never forsake me. I apologize for offending any of you with the fact that I backslid, but when I started looking at the fact that my husband was never home, always on the road working, I began to miss him and his companionship dearly. This was an adjustment for our family that was not intended to last for the past 4.5 years, and when I got sad or upset I would just pray and trust God for a local job for my husband, but I can only guess that I had gotten weary in well doing, and started to look at the problem rather than the problem solver, and that was my first mistake. I ended up going back to the one thing, I never thought I would because God had brought me so far and had blessed me beyond measure with an Angel, a gift from the hands of my God, and I failed him. I can only pray and believe that God will heal his broken heart and return to the wife of his youth, as is written in…

Malachi 2:13-16
13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.
14 You ask, “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.
15 Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.[d] So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. 16 “The man who hates and divorces his wife,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,”[e] says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.

I am asking you that pray, to please lift up my husband & I and our Marriage. I know that God heals the brokenhearted. I also know that Jesus died for the sick and infirmed, and my marriage is sick right now, and I am in anguish over this whole matter. I love my husband, and I know he loves me, and he is so hurt by the relapse, that he doesn’t want to return. BUT, I know God has restored marriages when only one of the spouses was standing with God for restoration. I know a three-fold cord is not easily broken and I know that what God has joined together his word says let no (man, woman, parent, friend, pastor, judge, etc…) one put asunder.

I am also asking that you pray for God to open a door for a job and a place to stay while I get on my feet. I now have theft staring me in the face, but I know God can open doors that no man can open. I realize I have made bad choices and this is not going to come easy. But, I need a place to live, and I need to be able to support my children if they are to come home. Fortunately, my oldest daughter and her husband, are taking care of the children for the time being. I do have to pay my probation, or I can be locked again, for a sanction. I am trying to be the woman of God that he intends for me to be, but I need your prayers.

Giving my testimony to my friends, is part of my healing process, and I pray that this knowledge does not cause you to Judge me. I leave you with Philippians 3:13&14 – 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for your continued prayers, in the name of Jesus!

Child of the Most High GOD,
Ann Margaret

This picture was taken after we were reconciled, but before all the children were returned to my care. What it speaks is that God is our Advocate & our Judge and that if you will surrender it all to him he will ‘TURN IT AROUND’, to bless you according to Genesis 50:20&21.
