My name is Vicky Wright and for the first 25 years of my life I followd the teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses.   It was a very fifferent way of life and I suffered from anxiety from a very early age.

 

I married a man who also was a Jehovah's Witness and now realise that he was just as damaged as I, and it ended in divorce.

 

I started looing for comfort by going to pubs, drinking and smoking and using marijuana and leading an immoral life style.

 

#Tragety struck our family in many ways, but when some-one I had come to rely on was sruck with a terminal cancer I was devistated and attempted suicide.  My brother-in-law died leaving my sister a widow with a baby and a young son.

 

I helped my sister with the children but I became more and more dependent on alchol to ope with the grief and pain I was feeling.

 

Suddenly I saw the lives of two family members change for the better as they recived Jesus as the personal Saviour and they atteneded Cornerstone Church in Tunstall.

 

At this time I was hit with a particularly nasty views and my mother and Pastor Tony came to visist me.  He asked if he could come and pray for me and at first I said no, then he made me laugh as he said "Okay enjoy your sickness!"

 

So I came to allow him to pray and he told me to get of the couch as I was healed, and I was.

 

I started to attend church and later recived Jesus as my Lord, after sating the sinners prayer.  He has brought such love and comfort to my heart and although the storms of life have still raged.  Jesus, my Rock has held me steady, and I have a wonderful inheritance in Christ.
