Over the last several weeks, Leticia has been guest blogging and sharing her life story, which has been rough and not pretty at times. Things took a turn down with her first cigarette, which grew into so much more. As her life spiraled down, her only constant companion were her cigarettes, for almost three months now, she is smoking free. She stopped smoking not only for health reason, but for the significance of her cigarettes being her companion to a life that she does not want. Leticia is now a new path that is bringing her peace and happiness and that path does not include her cigarettes! Congratulations Leticia on changing your life for the better and for being smoke free for almost three months!

Well now I had my peace …and finally got divorced. Antonio later married her and it turns out that by some weird fate tonight as I am writing this “DD” just happened to find me and contact me after all these years …wow! After stealing my husband how do you like that for strange turnout? So I moved on with my life and got a job and met this guy named Ed and we got together and later had a baby, which changed my life for a while. I could keep telling you so many more things that I suffered through these years in which I did. I went through very serious verbal and physical abuse through out my life and being a cutter and wanting to kill myself , being raped, and so many things where I still held on to the cigarettes and drugs but I got more into reading the bible and learning the word of God and holding on to him to give me strength! Then I started going to church.
Eventually quit drugs and smoking for five years and got clean. Then both came back and stayed with me again because I ran into Antonio again and returned back to that old life! Smoking and doing drugs! I would still read my bible and be messed up. But eventually in the year 2000, God talked to me and warned me to stop living this life he kept nagging me in a little voice in my ear! I didn’t listen. So I got busted went to jail! It was then I knew it was God. So I cried my heart out when I went to jail for three days my first and last time !So I sought help through the courts in 2000 went to drug court for two years and used all the tools they had to offer and all the therapy ! I really gave myself to God then and I made my son a promise to get my life right! I got clean for good! I have been clean for 12 years and just now November 20, 2012 quit smoking! Now what I want you the readers to know and see that through this journey I hope you paid close attention because what I want you to see is how I as a child I began my life with God… and the Devil got in the way and if you notice that through all this both God and the devil were in my life. The Devil was side tracking me through it to veer me away from God and through it all God was always there in the hard times God was carrying me through it now what I also want you to know readers is that now I am serving God and am working my way to be a minister ! God was Victorious through me Let his Glory shine through me PRAISE GOD ! And now my readers there is a special sight I want you to go to. Google to see my story because this is my true story !

I want to thank all you readers for taking time out to read this I hope that my life experience will be used to help other and hold on and have faith that God can save you and move mountains out of your way if you just hold on to him … As I did, and you see I ended up doing my calling after all!
