So refreshing to see a Christian online influencer be transparent about the fact that it’s not a overnight success story for ALL and that it’s ok to go through a process!
I appreciate you sharing your testimony. I grew up in church too but didn't really grasp God until my 20s. Your videos always bring me back to Christ and I'm so thankful for your channel. Isn't it awesome that God isn't done with us yet? He is so good!!!
+LeahsEssence Idk if you remember me but I ran into you and Corey on Morehouse campus a month ago. The first thing I said was “I almost want to cry.” You told me “we’re normal ppl lol.” What you didn’t know was that same day I did something I wasn’t too proud of and questioned celibacy and talked to God. (I had been looking at you two since last year...) so when I ran into y’all.. it’s almost as if He said.. “Are you sure this is what you want to pass up on?” I just thank you for living in your purpose, because they’re ppl like me who were waiting on you to show up. 💜 *slight tear* ok I’m done now😭
Kyra Beasley aww of course I remember you! Lol you are/were so sweet! I’m glad God placed us on your path that day. It’s never too late to turn back to Him. He is a faithful and good father. Just continue to put God first and He will keep you. Love you & praying for you sis!💕🤗
The enemy tries so hard to take us out early but I'm so thankful for God's unfailing love. You are beautiful inside and out. Keep shining and pointing others to Him💜
It's a miracle we need god it's that simple we are going to mess up but I love these faith based Christian stories we all have a purpose is loving our creator amen ✝️☦️🥱 saton is a minipulator
I loved this so much! Thank you for sharing and being so transparent! My testimony is very similar. Went from being a straight A , fun loving and people loving youngster that was full is respect and manners to a complete wreck. I grew up in the church so I should’ve been able to see what the enemy was doing . I should’ve been able to combat him but I couldn’t and didn’t cause I didn’t have a relationship with God. See I was continually molested when I was young and I didn’t understand a lot of things so I slowly became depressed and introverted. add to that literal demonic attacks - I’m talking about paranormal activity (witchcraft being done on my family by my GRANDPA can you imagine that ?) , impending divorce, sleeping on the floor because we weren’t the richest and SO MANY other things add it all together and you get a depressed and suicidal girl who smiled at everyone and tried to make them laugh but cried herself to sleep at night and secretly hated everyone with a passion. I mean I dated sooo many guys to try and fill that hole in my life but I only succeeded in losing myself even more. The devil had my mind so bound that I was thinking about taking my life. I didn’t recognize myself at all. But God really is there for you. He really does see you and he really does look out for you. I gave my life to him again and got baptized and filled with his spirit. I realized all that he had done for me while I was in sin. There were so many times I could’ve lost my virginity but God knew how important that was to me (I vowed to stay a virgin until marriage at 13) and he helped me out of compromising situations (which were a lot of them). He’s healing me from the molestation (I forgive my attacker) and he’s given me a great love for people again, especially hurting youth. He’s healed my family - everyone in my family is going hard for Christ now, he delivered us from demonic attack. I’m no longer depressed nor suicidal! Hallelujah! I had a porn/masturbation addiction that manifested after being sexually assaulted and I’m not afraid to say that because 1. I know a lot of my sisters are struggling with it and 2. GOD DELIVERED ME FROM IT so he can do the same for anyone else who has that problem. I’m not perfect yet. God is in the process of healing me from past broken relationships and loneliness but in this process I’ve decided to give the lord the throne of my heart and to wait for whoever he may bring in the future . Thanks for being such an amazing young woman after God’s heart, it truly encouraged me! And I hope my testimony encourages someone else!
Candice Hey Candice, we literally have the same story... almost every single thing. I found myself crying writing this comment. Can we get in touch? Your boldness inspires me to shape up in my own walk. (My IG is aduongovera)
Candice Please write a book or get someone to ghost write it for you. I hear deliverance for so many people just by reading your comment! You may want to prepare and get ready because YOU may be the one GOD is calling to help and speak to the hurting youth. I got stirred reading this and its like the LORD led me to share it with you. There is so much VICTORY in your story through Christ Jesus! You don't have to be perfect...just a willing and obedient vessel. God bless you Candice!
Andrea Williams Yes yes yes! I receive that confirmation completely! I’ve actually started writing it out for a small online community called Wattpad but I was a bit scared to put down EVERYTHING in my testimony because people there knew who I was already but you’ve just encouraged me to strive a bit higher than Wattpad! I will most definitely publish my story (unfiltered) if it can help someone else find Christ and be delivered - anonymous or not I don’t really care now. Thank you so much for your comment. God let us cross paths for a reason ❤️ God bless you!
I can really relate to this video.. I was the same in my teenage years angry hateful disrespectful.. you name it. When God took hold of me I just broke down cried asked for forgiveness from God and my mum for putting her through hell and ever since then God has and is still teaching me how to heal love be at peace and forgive so I could be at peace.
This was a great video and you really reminded me of myself and my personality funny, TALKATIVE, very outgoing and nice and has a lot of friends lol. I'm 18 rightnow and in college and I've been going to bible study and church and just growing in Christ but not sure if I'm fully giving my heart or even doing this wholeheartedly and feeling kind of doubtful with my relationship with God, but you reminded me that God is there and never leaves me. Glad I watched this video ilenven if it's like 2 am in the morning 😂😂 thank you 💗💗
What’s crazy is.... our story is so similar... i won’t go into detail but i will say i am going through a single season now and it’s been so difficult but thank you for ur obedience... for posting such an amazing testimony.... Bc of you allowing God to use you..... you’ve encouraged ppl like me to keep pushing .... ❤️
I love how we're able to give our testimony and help someone else. No matter what we go thru God just wants us to seek Him. These last few months I've desired a deeper relationship with Him and I've seen a change within myself and circumstances. Thanks for sharing Leah!
It’s Good to see a young woman of God holding up the standard of the women of old, then you born March 94 makes it better, lol keep up the Good work. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I was somewhat like this too in my youth years. Parents took me to church every sunday. I knew right from wrong but never knew the gratitude of the wrong I was doing. I had this idea that when God came back I would repent then and ask for forgiveness right before he was coming. Until I got closer to God, I realized what I was doing was abusing God's grace. I'm so glad God changed me and never gave up on me. I am thankful for what He did on the cross all just for me 😓😢
That was a amazing testimony. I struggled as a child with confidence because my teeth were not like the other girls because i couldn't get braces. Sometimes i still struggle with confidence, but i pray everyday for boldness and i know God will make the way for me to get those braces! Maybe one day this can be my testimony. God Bless!
Wow. I felt some typa closeness to God as you were speaking like Him drawing me to Him. You have a beautiful heart, we can see God's work. God bless you
I really connected with you on this personal video. I too didn't realize my parents divorce was affecting me as a teen and i struggled with anxiety and depression. Your story is so crazily similar to mine even as far as timelines. Like you, I knew about God but I didn't have a relationship with him. I'm now 23 years old and have been making a conscious honest effort to build on my relationship with God. Thank you for your testimony Leah
Your testimony has truly been refreshing to hear at this point in my life, thank you so much for sharing this with us! I’m sure God himself is the one that led me to this video 🙌🏾
I really like the testimony and I also went through a heartbreak and depression almost killed me but I thank God he strengthened me and now am waiting for him to find me a good man for a husband . I believe and trust in him
Beautiful Video! I can truly relate to your spiritual journey and some of the struggles that you have gone through. For me my turning point was after dealing with a physically abusive relationship. Now after that My relationship became stronger with God asking him to help see me some through. God is so good and now I am in a beautiful loving relationship with my husband who I have been married to for 9 yrs.We all go through things which shake up our lives drawing us closer to God.
Sweet Leah. Your story is a beautiful one. God is so amazing. I went through a time where I didnt recognize myself. I had taken on the traits of the enemy. But as the word says, if we make our bed in hell, God is there. He is with us even when we dont acknowledge Him. Thank you or sharing. Sending love and light from your home state, Illinois
Its amazing to me that I can relate to everything you’re saying. Im in my junior year of high school as of right now hoping to seek early graduation. I haven’t been the nicest or most respectful person to myself or others. I once was until my father passed at 25 years old, then it seemed as if things started to change (This happened January 2008- I was 7 years old) . But now I see why so many family members was being so hard on me. I was headed in the wrong direction and I feel like NOW since we’re going into a new year soon I should get a head start on the change thats about to come. I want to better myself into the person that I know & God knows I can be . 💕💕
I appreciate you telling your story. I have a 9 yr old who has a similar personality she loves to make people laugh, very friendly and bubbly and oh my God she loves to talk but I've been having a lot of problems with her in school. She gets into a lot of trouble because she interrupts the lesson to talk with her friends and be silly but when the teacher has to reprimand her she gets very angry and the problem escalates. It's as if she doesn't like being talked to, she often thinks she's not doing anything wrong. She's always been so sweet and still but I have realized she has a lot of anger and I believe it's because our family has gone through so much the past few years. Her dad and I separated, we became homeless, we've been from shelter to shelter, we've stayed with family members here and there who at times never made us feel welcomed, I lost my son to the prison system. It's just been a lot, it has taken it's toll on me so imagine a little girl. All in all God has still been faithful throughout this process, I went to nursing school, passed and graduated took my licensing exam a month ago and now I'm an RN and I believe that God helped me accomplished this. I have faith God will help us finally get a place of our own but I have to work on my patience. I believe once we get our own place my daughter will change and not be as angry but I have to still work on getting my son home and she'll be more than happy. What else can I do for her to help turn her around, you have given me hope she will change but I'm scared her attitude may progress because it has happened to her at such an young age vs happening during her teenage years where she could comprehend and change.
God led me to your channel in 2020 & I wasn’t sure why but as I continue to watch your videos, I realise its because I too have used relationships to fill a void, I have been through seasons of loneliness, anxiety & depression - my testimony is being built. My transformation has had me more into myself because God wants me to focus on myself, my family and Him and also to learn to share about Him through my story....so thank for accepting God’s call Leah. Also your IG content is crisp, love it 💗
Our testimonies are very similar. Praise God for His endless grace to save us and not give up on us. Thank you for sharing it’s very encouraging and you’re such a blessing ! 💕
Leah I am so glad you shared your story! I used to look for attention through guys. I wanted them to be like a savior to me. I also wanted to form into whatever made them happy. What I didn't realize was the devil was trying to take out my identity! I didn't realize my identity was already established in Christ. I always loved God too but my relationship was lax. I pray for the boldness to share more as I know it will help others. Your journey is a beautiful encouragement to so many if us!
Thank you for sharing your testimony! It's so important for us as born again people to share what God has brought us from. My testimony is so long 😫 but just a quick insight to what I've been delivered from. I struggled with homosexuality, bitterness, rejection, new age, addiction, anxiety and depression. The Holy Spirit took away all those desires and now I've been made whole! I'm free! Glory be to God! I just want to encourage anyone who may see this who is still in sin that there is hope for you and Jesus's blood still works, still cleanses and still heals! Cast your cares on Him for he cares for you. Hallelujah! Shalom guys 🙏🏽
your testimony is almost exactly like mine , which is sowed. it feels like sim in the space of finding myself but then I get distracted and want to fill that void with people. for some reason i carry around this anger and I've so mean and don't care. I wish I could focus on myself and God. I honestly don't know why its so hard to be about myself and making my self better. I keep getting in relationships that set me back instead of moving me forward. Think you for sharing your testimony. it was definitely a God send for someone to have almost a word for word testimony. It gives me hope to see your progress and happiness. Also it encourages me to start my youtube and spread the word of God. I wish I could surround myself with more people like you.
God bless you leah, your such an inspiration to me. may the good lord continue to use you in even greater ways and may he bless you and your husband in your marriage. Am a new big fan of yours
This is absolutely beautiful! I was listening to this video as I got some work done. I had to stop what I was doing when I kept hearing the similarities in your story with mine. It's so encouraging to hear and see someone come out of those seasons of obscurity. I definitely believe I'm on the other side of things as far as having matured beyond a certain point. However, as of late, I've become aware that there's a new part of the process that I'm walking through, a new season. I truly believe God is purging me of old habits, old ideas, old hurts, wounds, insecurities, etc. It's absolutely uncomfortable and obscure. Some days I'm joyful because I can SEE the change and the growth. Other days, I'm even more aware of how much needs to be changed; how much I'm not like God in certain ways. I feel as though I'm at a crossroads. I'm making small and big changes. But, I sense there is still a leap that needs to be made soon. Your videos have encouraged me further in this process. So, please. Don't stop telling of the goodness of God. Those that know Him need reminders that He is still who He says that He is. So, thank you so much! And congratulations on now being married! (Yes, I was absolutely upset when I watched the opening part of that video!) You got usssss! Anyway, have a wonderful day hon!
I'm so BLESS watching ur testimony. I'm declaring that one day I will be who GOD really wants me to be and that I will be a motivation to people one day!!... stay humble in God and continue to allow him to use u....you're a tower of strength. Keep up the good Work. I'm inspired. GOD bless u
Thank you so much Leah for sharing your testimony. As I was watching, I was remembering all the troubles that God has brought me out of. I honestly can't thank Him enough for changing me and recreating into what I am now. I truly believe that He is still working on me because I am not perfect and I tend to make mistakes. However, I know that with each day that I seek Him he will build me into something that I never expected. I was recently baptized, and everyone's been telling me it's only the beginning. But I know I will get through it with the help of Him.
I love this video Leah! It's so obvious that God is truly using you for His glory. He truly is sooo faithful and your testimony is inspiring :) thanks girl
This was so beautiful. What an encouragement. I can relate to some of the things you said and yes I agree God is faithful. Keep seeking Him and trusting Him. He will lead His own. God bless you for sharing.
you're doing a great job by being transparent. we live in a generation where people need to relate to see what God can do in their lives. thanks for not giving even through the midst of it all. my story a little less similar & a lot sad actually but hey now I'm the strongest woman in God. I love him & I love you 😊
Amen 🙏🏿. God has a purpose for everything. Faithful Is He. No greater joy than dwelling in his presence. I loved attending Bible study back in college. Always a blessing. God bless you Leah 😊
God has changed me in the fact that I WANT to follow Him! Like you, I grew up in church and everything said about God felt like a given or cliché but now that I’ve felt, seen, and experienced what the world has to offer as a Junior in college, God is truly what I want. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and how he’s changed you. That’s so real how you spoke about your attitude shifting once the enemy began to attack you at an early age. You gave me another something to be grateful and praise God for when you said your sweet, kind, personable, and funny personality is being restored. Girl, same!! Lol so much love for you. You’re amazing.
Watching this in 2020! I just wanted to come back to this bc videos like this are what draw people who may be feeling lost to Christ. Your testimony is so honest, relatable and encouraging! Love this Leah!!
This was such a beautiful testimony! I strongly believe that your transparency will touch the lives of many! I can relate to your story in so many ways! I am almost 46 years old and I am a living witness that God never gives up on us! He is the only one that sees our hearts! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Saturday and I hope you have a happy Easter!
Thank you so much for this video. I am at a point in my life where I am going through a lot and I needed some motivation and I got on youtube and God led me to this video.
I love how you said you were not choosing to be who God wanted you to be then. That's what we all have to remember. We all have choices so we need to choose wisely! Glad you turned it around in time.
Thank you for telling your story of how you came to Christ. Your Mom and Dad divorcing must of have been devastating, Getting attention in the wrong places must been a rebound to this very news. Thank God he was there for you and walk with you through it. I am happy that your Marriage was one of the results of your walk with God. Your testimony will help many people strengthen them while they go through hard times. Church services on Sunday and Bible studies during the week and daily reading and listening to people like you is a the way to have strong walk with the Lord. Enoch must had a special walk, that we can only think about, because God walk with him and then took him. Thank you and God Bless you and your husband. Russ from Oregon
Thank you so much for this. Im just getting out of my dark place. Everyday is a struggle, but I’m still pushing. It’s like how much I would like to give up God will not let me.
I just love how you emphasized how you said your walk was a process!! I just love how you never gave up and choose to trust God! I really love your story!!! Mannn God is awesome!
Wow. I went someplace when I was 13 1/2 and I am still trying to extricate myself completely from that mistake. My Mom sent me there and told my Dad to drive me there. I am glad to hear God is with you. Terrific testimony.
Omggggg i also did the same thing when i was heart broken, I meditated on the scripture psalm 34:18 and its been 1 year since I decided to give my problems to God and study him. This was after graduation and moving back home
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony, Our God is so Awesome I’m happy I was drawn to your channel it’s been so informative that everyday we have to die to our flesh and choose him above all else !Continue to share the gospel ❤️
this really gives me hope, but sometimes it is just so frustrating and hard to remember that He is with us but your testimony was very helpful. thank you and God bless ❤️
Thank you for posting this. It was something I needed to hear. Lol me and you are born in 1994 and the same month and 5 days apart. So to see someone my age saying things am Inspired and know that God always has my back. So thanks 💕💕👼
Thank you for this testimony Leah..so awesome, i am going to share it with my daughter...she needs to hear this. Thank you for the reminder that this is all a journey and God doesnt stop working in us.
So refreshing to see a Christian online influencer be transparent about the fact that it’s not a overnight success story for ALL and that it’s ok to go through a process!
No testimony is to big or too small. I needed this Leah
I appreciate you sharing your testimony. I grew up in church too but didn't really grasp God until my 20s. Your videos always bring me back to Christ and I'm so thankful for your channel. Isn't it awesome that God isn't done with us yet? He is so good!!!
Amen
Same here

Kayla Jones SIS!!! I can definitely relate to this!!! I would like to see Christian women show the good bad and the ugly.
I love how we're able to give our testimony and help someone else. No matter what we go thru God just wants us to seek Him. These last few months I've desired a deeper relationship with Him and I've seen a change within myself and circumstances. Thanks for sharing Leah!
I went from new age to Christianity:) God really woke me up & let me see the dangers.
It’s Good to see a young woman of God holding up the standard of the women of old, then you born March 94 makes it better, lol keep up the Good work. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Your testimony has truly been refreshing to hear at this point in my life, thank you so much for sharing this with us! I’m sure God himself is the one that led me to this video 🙌🏾
I really like the testimony and I also went through a heartbreak and depression almost killed me but I thank God he strengthened me and now am waiting for him to find me a good man for a husband . I believe and trust in him
Leah, keep allowing the Lord to use you. We need to hear the truth. God Bless you and your RUclips ministry.🙏🏿
Beautiful Video! I can truly relate to your spiritual journey and some of the struggles that you have gone through. For me my turning point was after dealing with a physically abusive relationship.

Its amazing to me that I can relate to everything you’re saying. Im in my junior year of high school as of right now hoping to seek early graduation. I haven’t been the nicest or most respectful person to myself or others. I once was until my father passed at 25 years old, then it seemed as if things started to change (This happened January 2008- I was 7 years old) . But now I see why so many family members was being so hard on me. I was headed in the wrong direction and I feel like NOW since we’re going into a new year soon I should get a head start on the change thats about to come. I want to better myself into the person that I know & God knows I can be . 💕💕

She's always been so sweet and still but I have realized she has a lot of anger and I believe it's because our family has gone through so much the past few years. Her dad and I separated, we became homeless, we've been from shelter to shelter, we've stayed with family members here and there who at times never made us feel welcomed, I lost my son to the prison system. It's just been a lot, it has taken it's toll on me so imagine a little girl. All in all God has still been faithful throughout this process, I went to nursing school, passed and graduated took my licensing exam a month ago and now I'm an RN and I believe that God helped me accomplished this. I have faith God will help us finally get a place of our own but I have to work on my patience. I believe once we get our own place my daughter will change and not be as angry but I have to still work on getting my son home and she'll be more than happy. What else can I do for her to help turn her around, you have given me hope she will change but I'm scared her attitude may progress because it has happened to her at such an young age vs happening during her teenage years where she could comprehend and change.
Am 23 a college student in my final year God is so real and amazing even with all the difficulty he is still worth it ,,,,,may He's name be praised.
LEAH
It's amazing how God chooses us even when we are busying trying to live do life our way
God led me to your channel in 2020 & I wasn’t sure why but as I continue to watch your videos, I realise its because I too have used relationships to fill a void, I have been through seasons of loneliness, anxiety & depression - my testimony is being built.
My transformation has had me more into myself because God wants me to focus on myself, my family and Him and also to learn to share about Him through my story....so thank for accepting God’s call Leah.
Also your IG content is crisp, love it 💗
Our testimonies are very similar. Praise God for His endless grace to save us and not give up on us. Thank you for sharing it’s very encouraging and you’re such a blessing ! 💕
Leah I am so glad you shared your story! I used to look for attention through guys. I wanted them to be like a savior to me. I also wanted to form into whatever made them happy. What I didn't realize was the devil was trying to take out my identity! I didn't realize my identity was already established in Christ. I always loved God too but my relationship was lax. I pray for the boldness to share more as I know it will help others. Your journey is a beautiful encouragement to so many if us!
Thank you for sharing your testimony! It's so important for us as born again people to share what God has brought us from. My testimony is so long 😫 but just a quick insight to what I've been delivered from. I struggled with homosexuality, bitterness, rejection, new age, addiction, anxiety and depression. The Holy Spirit took away all those desires and now I've been made whole! I'm free! Glory be to God!
I just want to encourage anyone who may see this who is still in sin that there is hope for you and Jesus's blood still works, still cleanses and still heals! Cast your cares on Him for he cares for you. Hallelujah! Shalom guys 🙏🏽
your testimony is almost exactly like mine , which is sowed. it feels like sim in the space of finding myself but then I get distracted and want to fill that void with people. for some reason i carry around this anger and I've so mean and don't care. I wish I could focus on myself and God. I honestly don't know why its so hard to be about myself and making my self better. I keep getting in relationships that set me back instead of moving me forward. Think you for sharing your testimony. it was definitely a God send for someone to have almost a word for word testimony. It gives me hope to see your progress and happiness. Also it encourages me to start my youtube and spread the word of God. I wish I could surround myself with more people like you.
My birthday is march 25 1994 🙏🏻 thanks for sharing your story
God bless you leah, your such an inspiration to me. may the good lord continue to use you in even greater ways and may he bless you and your husband in your marriage. Am a new big fan of yours
I don't know who needs this but
I love you
You are worth it
You will get through it ❤
This is absolutely beautiful!
I was listening to this video as I got some work done. I had to stop what I was doing when I kept hearing the similarities in your story with mine. It's so encouraging to hear and see someone come out of those seasons of obscurity. I definitely believe I'm on the other side of things as far as having matured beyond a certain point. However, as of late, I've become aware that there's a new part of the process that I'm walking through, a new season. I truly believe God is purging me of old habits, old ideas, old hurts, wounds, insecurities, etc. It's absolutely uncomfortable and obscure.
Some days I'm joyful because I can SEE the change and the growth. Other days, I'm even more aware of how much needs to be changed; how much I'm not like God in certain ways. I feel as though I'm at a crossroads. I'm making small and big changes. But, I sense there is still a leap that needs to be made soon. Your videos have encouraged me further in this process. So, please. Don't stop telling of the goodness of God. Those that know Him need reminders that He is still who He says that He is.
So, thank you so much! And congratulations on now being married! (Yes, I was absolutely upset when I watched the opening part of that video!) You got usssss!
Anyway, have a wonderful day hon!
Thank you God for using your beloved daughter to teach us....Thank you Leah
May God continuously bless you and your family.
I'm so BLESS watching ur testimony. I'm declaring that one day I will be who GOD really wants me to be and that I will be a motivation to people one day!!... stay humble in God and continue to allow him to use u....you're a tower of strength. Keep up the good Work. I'm inspired. GOD bless u
Thank you so much Leah for sharing your testimony. As I was watching, I was remembering all the troubles that God has brought me out of. I honestly can't thank Him enough for changing me and recreating into what I am now. I truly believe that He is still working on me because I am not perfect and I tend to make mistakes. However, I know that with each day that I seek Him he will build me into something that I never expected. I was recently baptized, and everyone's been telling me it's only the beginning. But I know I will get through it with the help of Him.
Thank you so much for sharing this sister! Your story is beautiful!❤️ YOU are beautiful!
God is so amazing! He is no respecter or persons and He’ll use anyone no matter what their background is 💕 Thank you for sharing your testimony ☺️❤️
I love this video Leah! It's so obvious that God is truly using you for His glory. He truly is sooo faithful and your testimony is inspiring :) thanks girl
This was so beautiful. What an encouragement. I can relate to some of the things you said and yes I agree God is faithful. Keep seeking Him and trusting Him. He will lead His own. God bless you for sharing.
you're doing a great job by being transparent. we live in a generation where people need to relate to see what God can do in their lives. thanks for not giving even through the midst of it all. my story a little less similar & a lot sad actually but hey now I'm the strongest woman in God. I love him & I love you 😊
Amen 🙏🏿. God has a purpose for everything. Faithful Is He. No greater joy than dwelling in his presence. I loved attending Bible study back in college. Always a blessing. God bless you Leah 😊
God has changed me in the fact that I WANT to follow Him! Like you, I grew up in church and everything said about God felt like a given or cliché but now that I’ve felt, seen, and experienced what the world has to offer as a Junior in college, God is truly what I want. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and how he’s changed you. That’s so real how you spoke about your attitude shifting once the enemy began to attack you at an early age. You gave me another something to be grateful and praise God for when you said your sweet, kind, personable, and funny personality is being restored. Girl, same!! Lol so much love for you. You’re amazing.
I definitely appreciated this video. ... I relate to parts of your story. It’s amazing how different our wake up calls can be !
God is good! Thanks so much for sharing Leah :)
Watching this in 2020! I just wanted to come back to this bc videos like this are what draw people who may be feeling lost to Christ. Your testimony is so honest, relatable and encouraging! Love this Leah!!
This was such a beautiful testimony! I strongly believe that your transparency will touch the lives of many! I can relate to your story in so many ways! I am almost 46 years old and I am a living witness that God never gives up on us! He is the only one that sees our hearts! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Saturday and I hope you have a happy Easter!
Thank you so much for this video. I am at a point in my life where I am going through a lot and I needed some motivation and I got on youtube and God led me to this video.
I love how you said you were not choosing to be who God wanted you to be then. That's what we all have to remember. We all have choices so we need to choose wisely! Glad you turned it around in time.
Great Testimony! Thank you for sharing💕🙌🏾
Thank you for telling your story of how you came to Christ. Your Mom and Dad divorcing must of have been devastating, Getting attention in the wrong places must been a rebound to this very news. Thank God he was there for you and walk with you through it. I am happy that your Marriage was one of the results of your walk with God. Your testimony will help many people strengthen them while they go through hard times. Church services on Sunday and Bible studies during the week and daily reading and listening to people like you is a the way to have strong walk with the Lord. Enoch must had a special walk, that we can only think about, because God walk with him and then took him. Thank you and God Bless you and your husband. Russ from Oregon
Thank you so much for this. Im just getting out of my dark place. Everyday is a struggle, but I’m still pushing. It’s like how much I would like to give up God will not let me.

Wow. I went someplace when I was 13 1/2 and I am still trying to extricate myself completely from that mistake. My Mom sent me there and told my Dad to drive me there. I am glad to hear God is with you. Terrific testimony.
