Summary
SummaryWhen I was in kindergarten, my cousin began sexually abusing me, and I carried that trauma silently π€. In third grade, I discovered I was adopted, and the thought that my biological dad signed away his rights at six months old made me feel like I wasnβt truly wanted π. I believed that if I could just graduate high school and get out of my home, life would improve, so I buried the pain. In college, I turned to alcohol, because at least drinking made me feel something when Iβd been numb for so long. But this only led me down a darker pathβPTSD, depression, anxiety, and eventually a suicide attempt in October 2023 π₯.
By January 2024, I hit rock bottom. I was so good at hiding my pain that no one realized how desperate Iβd become. A friend sent me a link to the LCBC Christmas service, and I finally watched it on December 26, 2023 while waiting in an ER with my sick daughter. As soon as I heard the worship and message, I began to weep uncontrollably π. That night, I felt something I hadnβt felt in yearsβthe presence of hope. A week later, my husband, my kids, and I attended LCBC for the first time, and I felt completely overwhelmed by grace. It was in that moment I gave my life to Jesus, knowing I no longer had to carry my burdens alone π.
Since then, the weight on my shoulders has been lifted. I still face reminders of my past, but now I talk to Jesus about every struggle, and He gives me strength to move forward. Today, I am Stephanie Fischer, a life changed by Christ, and I know I am deeply loved, valued, and never alone β€οΈ.
Stephanie spent years carrying pain, fear, and brokenness she thought would never heal. But everything changed when she encountered Jesus. She discovered a hope she never thought was possible.
