FROM A DESTRUCTIVE SPIRAL OF SHAME & NEAR DEATH TO FORGIVENESS & ADVOCATING FOR LIFE

Just as new life fills the earth after bleak winters, Jesus fills the lost, hopeless and sick with new life when we call on Him.   

Even more, Jesus restores beauty from ashes regardless of how hopeless it seems.   

Why? 

Because Jesus is your personal Savior and desires close relationship with you regardless of your circumstances, age, or location.

Even more he has good plans for you and rejoices, yes -  rejoices over YOU!  

Unsure? 

Start with  Jeremiah 29:11 and  Zephaniah 3:17!

Even better. . . 

       

You are His most loved, most prized creation!  (Psalms 139:13-16)

He sacrificed himself for you to be whole, healthy and a living testimony for Him (1Peter 2 & 24).

 

What's more. . . 

When all seems impossible, He answers, just like he did for Kelly Lester when she escaped a violent encounter with death and was freed from a dark life of pain through God's truth, prayer and healing.

ON to Kelly's story from her own testimony 

HOW does a young girl in a stable home spiral into violence, drugs, and near death end up being a voice for life and hope for thousands of others? 

Kelly's story began when she recalled the first time "feeling shame" from "memories in "kindergarten doing things with dolls that normal kindergarteners would not do" 

Kelly later learned her shame and losing her innocence came from being molested before she started kindergarten. 

Her  burden of shame surfaced again in high school and quickly escalated into a destructive lifestyle spawned by a party invitation during her sophomore year. 

Accepting the invite, Kelly never expected to be confronted with assault and recalled, "one of the most popular boys in school raped me."  

Brushed off by her best friend who didn't believe her, Kelly sought solace in her youth pastor, 

 "She looked me square in the face and said, 'If you wouldn't have gone to that party that would have never happened,' " said Kelly. 

Burdened with guilt, it was then Kelly walked away from God and said, "I didn't like church and was going to hell anyway," which escalated into more promiscuity and an abortion at 15 years.

Kelly's first "abortion changed everything, because there was  a part of me that died.

I was treated like a cow going to slaughter," she said and "started doing drugs and drinking," 

Faced with a second abortion her senior year, Kelly masked her guilt and shame with more drugs. Dropping to 105 pounds. "I was very skinny, anorexic and bulemic," she said.  

Separating herself from her parents, Kelly recalled, "I knew if they saw me they would know what happened." 

Kelly's destructive root gained more hold when she "worked in strip clubs and started dealing and doing Crystal Meth" leading to "levels of depravity I never witnessed before and was raped again by another drug dealer," said Kelly. 

"My coping mechanism," Kelly said, "was harder drugs, harder alcohol. There wasn't a moment I was not sober." 

Now involved in another violent relationship, Kelly faced a third pregnancy, and  a third abortion.

 

Fighting with her boyfriend, Kelly recalled, "he was about to hit me in the head with a 2 by 4" and abruptly dropped "the board and punched me in the face.

There was blood everywhere," said Kelly realizing she had a broken nose and blackened eyes.  

Kelly's miraculous escape from violent death was in her father's prayers at the same time her "boyfriend dropped the board," Kelly said.   

Answering her Dad's 10 texts the next day, Kelly faced her father with a "crooked nose and black eyes."

Helping her into his car, her "bawling" father said, "2 nights ago I had a vision of you dead on the floor with your head split wide open and I began to pray." 

Kelly's journey of healing started at church when God asked her "Have you had enough?" 

Reluctant to answer, Kelly quickly pointed out, "But God you don't know what I've done."  

Hearing God answer, "Kelly if you live for me I will make beauty from ashes." 

Slowly learning to trust God, Kelly, married, is now a mother of six beautiful children and a voice of hope,  healing and life. 

 "I think the turning point for me from believing an abortion was ok to being pro-life" said Kelly, "was when I believed the Lord loved me and I began to believe the truth that I am valuable, worthwhile, loved and accepted."

What's more, "As I've been speaking about what happened to me, about my experiences with abortion and speaking about the healing I've gotten," said Kelly, "that's how the Lord is making beauty from ashes." 

For her miraculous transformation, Kelly relays more details in her video below.
