I thought that I was born gay! I not only dealt with lesbianism, but also gender confusion. I believed that I was a boy trapped in a girls body and was considering having a sex change. to back that up; there is a biological part to that because when I went to my OB-GYN and had blood work, my testosterone was so high, they retested me. I also had facial hair and would have to shave constantly. As a child, I was a tomboy, even though I was raised in church (COGIC). I sung in the choir, had the lead in all the plays and had oodles of friends. I was accepted and loved by all the elders in the church. I excelled in school, was super smart to the point they wanted to promote me to 6th grade while in the 4th, but my mom said no. I graduated high school and had never gone on a date because my parents were strict. When I did start dating, I married the first guy I dated, for the wrong reasons. My parents were getting older and I wanted to give them a grandchild. I started doing drugs, snorting coke and smoking crack before I became pregnant. I became my best customer - trying to use drugs to conceal the secret that I was gay, but married! I overdosed during my first trimester and while lying there - I can see it now- there was a bright light circling my head and the next day I walked out the hotel as if nothing happened. My son was miraculously born drug free! As I was giving birth to him, I saw an angel at the foot of my bed with wings expanding across the entire room! I prayed my husband out of my life, I cried to God to help me! Once my son came into the world, I had every reason to quit drugs, and was miraculously able to do so without counseling - God had given me a way out. I was now divorced and actively living a lesbian lifestyle and dressing, walking, acting like a man - no female clothes. I went on a cruise (paid for by my girlfriend) and prior to leaving - I felt death....didn't know who or what. I was sitting on the deck enjoying the view and immediately I felt the presence of God - I was immediately delivered from homosexuality! The entire time i was on the cruise -the enemy tormented me with the spirit of suicide. It kept telling me to jump over board! I had to quote scripture every night to go to sleep!! Oh, this was a Gospel cruise - "Cruise with a Cause" - the only cruise i have ever been on....I went on the boat gay and got off not gay. I had a girlfriend waiting on me at home and we were planning on getting married. I didn't tell her what happened and tried to make it work, but God intervened and our relationship became a living hell!! We would already argue alot because in a relationship with 2 women - there is too much estrogen!! One day she says "I am taking you home", and when she said "home" this time it had different meaning. I heard God say "back home to your first love" God was able to use me to go back to get others, and now every girl I have dated has come out of the lesbian lifestyle. It was not because I shoved the bible down their throat - they saw the power of God on my life and it gave them hope!!
