I knew that I had an attraction towards women from the age of 8. I didn’t understand why I had these feelings, but deep down inside I knew it was not right. I continued down the path of lesbianism, despite my feeling it was wrong. I had a female babysitter who contributed to that decision by introducing sexual perversion into my life. The rejection of my father, further contributed to the seed of homosexuality being planted in my life. During my time living as a lesbian, I went in and out of relationships that were dead ends. My life began to deteriorate even further as I developed an addiction to cocaine and became a functioning alcoholic. I lived in that lifestyle for almost 20 years of my life. One day I attended the funeral for the daughter of a friend. I remember standing at her casket and looking down at this 20 year old body, and at the age of 33 I saw my life flash before my eyes. I could hear the Holy Spirit say to me “She doesn’t get a second chance, but you do”. That moment became a turning point in my life as I could feel God calling me to him. It was not the end of my attraction to women, but God began to provide the tools I needed for complete deliverance. He led me to a church where I was able to get people to come around an support me, and a accountability team formed to assist me in my walk. They did not treat me like a puppet or control me, but came alongside me love me in the process. I was able to begin to deal with root issues. One of the components to my healing process were my brothers from the Overcomers Network, that began to show me what it meant to be treated like a woman. They loved on me and adored me and it was an amazing feeling. Christine has now been called out of the “deathstyle” and has committed to living her life as a witness of God’s restoration power.
