My Testimony:
Maybe this part should be deleted Good evening Mr. Hollis if you
don’t mind I would like to take this time to tell the ladies on you page
how you help me and ladies I challenge you to take the time to give a
short testimony of your own. Each of us has a story to tell which can
be told without getting personal.
I first married at the age of 18 for all the wrong reasons. My parents
were strict and I could not stand it. I graduated high school, got a full
time job and still had to be in the house by midnight. I went into
marriage believing in the white picket fence and true love. I thought my
marriage would be like my parents. I never saw them argue. Dad went
to work; mom stayed home and took care of the children. I thought
that was all to it. Just three months into my marriage I found my
husband to be abusive (physically and mentally) and a whore. I was so
naive and I knew I had to grow up quick in order to survive. I
remember the first time my husband hit me; he punched me in the face
because someone out in the streets had made him angry. What my
husband did not know was I fight back. I was a tomboy growing up
and all I did was fight.
However this was different. I never knew men and women hit each
other nor did I know men and women also cheated on each other. I
was stumped, kicked, beat with a pipe and punched. I was young and
every time he apologizes and said he loved me, I believed him and
took him back. After about 7 years into the marriage I looked into my
husband eyes and told him if he ever put his hands on me again, I was
going to kill him. The fighting stopped that day. I remember thinking I
should have said those words the first time he put his hands on me.
Looking back on those years I had come to realize my husband had
took control of my mind and I let him. Twenty years later he left me for
another woman. It made me very happy to see everything he did to me;
the other woman did to him. The Lord revenged me.
Now it was time to heal and I waited two years before I started dating at
which I met my significant other and we stayed together for 8 years.
Was it love? No. This guy was funny and in the 8 years we were
together I could count on one hand the times we argued. Still I knew I
was settling. I partied with this guy and we got drunk the every single
night the first year we were together. To make a long story short, he
was bi-polar and an alcoholic. I stop drinking the 3rd year we were
together but he kept on drinking. Eventually his personally changed
and we parted ways because I had said the next man to put his hands
on me I was going to kill him.
I have not dated nor went out for the past 5 years (it will be 6 years
come February). As I look back on my life I feel 28 years of it was
wasted and it took me into a deep depression. I kept asking myself
what was wrong with me. So now I’m in the computer age. I went
online looking for anything to ease my pain. I met a man online and fell
in love (or so I thought). This man met me at my place of employment
and we became friends. I found out this so call love was not meant to
be thus my depression became deeper as I had come to the realization
that I had NEVER been in love. I love but NEVER been in love.
I first me Mr. Hollis here on Tagged at a time when I was down in the
dumps. When I came to his page (by search) my eyes lit up as I said to
myself, wow someone who is willing to pray with me as well as
someone to talk to. Mr. Hollis slap me in the face with some hard facts
about myself, yes it stung but I rather here the truth than for someone
to tell me what I want to hear. I had low self esteem and was madly in
love with a man. The man I was in love with drove me crazy inasmuch
as he controlled my emotions towards himself.
First Mr. Hollis let me see that I could not be in love with this man when
I didn’t even love myself. Mr. Hollis let me see that everything starts at
home (within one’s self) He encouraged me to free my heart from being
in love with this man and concentrate on loving myself first. Now
ladies we being emotional creatures I don’t have to tell you how hard it
is to let go when you are in love with someone and this man never
encourage the love I had for him, so who was I kidding.
However Mr. Hollis gave me some good advice and soon I was able to
free myself of the love I had for this man and concentrate on loving
myself. Mr. Hollis was with me every step of the way with
encouragement and praise. He followed up with phone calls just to
make sure I was staying on task and concentrating on my self esteem.
I started coming back to myself and very happy with the progress I
was making towards my self esteem. It’s a wonderful feeling when a
person can be in control of their own emotions. Now ladies I’m not
going to say it was easy because when you have a man filling you up
with praise and telling you how proud he is of your accomplishment
you tend to attach yourself to that person. I’m not going to lie ladies
but I had a minor setback inasmuch as I attached myself to Mr. Hollis. I
knew he was married and his wife is a woman of God. However that
did not matter. I began to look at Mr. Hollis differently. Suddenly I
wanted all of his time and became angry when I did not get it. The
good new is Mr. Hollis gently push me back on the right track. He let
me see that he was here to help me get my life together, however he
had other people that needed his help as well. He said other things as
well which is private but the results was I as able to detach myself from
Mr. Hollis and get on with my life. I will always be grateful to Mr. Hollis
for letting me see that I should always be in control of my life and not
let anyone control me.

Oftentimes in life I have had to deal with so many challenges and problems.
I normally keep a lot of situations to myself because I have been afraid to share my
true feelings with family and friends due to being criticized and judged in the past.
Doing this gives me a "sick and empty" feeling. When I found Overseer Rhodes, I
finally found someone to share these problems with and not be judged---Hallelujah!
It is an awesome feeling to be able to openly pray with a real praying coach in my
time of need.
When I shared my challenges with Overseer Rhodes, he not only helped me
determine the problem but also guided me to the resolution.
Overseer Rhodes, thank you for your help.
May God continue to richly bless you and your ministry.
