NO LONGER A FAILURE
I
was empty , and I had many negative thoughts . I also suffered from spiritual problems such as insomnia and constant fear , and I was frightened of sleeping or being alone . I felt a strange presence around me , so during the night , I would be in despair because I was very afraid . On top of this , I felt like a failure . I had no goals for my life , and I wished that I never existed . I had insecurities including my height ; I thought I was ugly and that all the other girls were more beautiful than me .
My love life was also a failure . My relationships didn ’ t last long , which would only increase my frustration . Unsurprisingly , my studies were also bad . I would study so much , but when it came to the exams , I would forget everything I had learnt .
When I came to the UCKG HelpCentre , I decided to put into practice all the advice given to me during the meetings and the one-to-ones . I started to see changes in my life . I became free from all the spiritual problems and complexes that I had . This gave me the strength and encouragement to continue coming . When I made a commitment to be faithful with my offerings , my grades became the best in my class .
Today I have peace . I have learnt how to take care of and value myself , and I couldn ’ t be happier . My inner self has been transformed . Not only that , I am happily married , with two healthy children .
“ My love life was also a failure . My relationships didn ’ t last long , which would only increase my frustration .”
Through the special meetings at the HelpCentre and the vows that I made with God , my husband and I were able to buy our own house in a private condominium in Portugal . The property comes with a gym , swimming pool and everything that I had planned for . We have also bought a new car .
Although we heard negative comments saying that we would not succeed , through using our faith , we have seen the work of God in our lives . We have lived in the UK for only 5 months , but in less than a month we were able to get our permanent documents . My husband has since secured a job and everything is going as planned .
