Raised Catholic and always thought being a good person and having faith in God was all I needed. Got married, and knew I shouldn’t have, struggled very hard to make it work but after 18 years and 6 kids I couldn’t take it anymore. The divorce was awful and he made it more mentally abusive than he did our marriage. It’s been 22 years since the divorce, 4 of my daughters no longer speak to me, 2 do. I have a great ex brother in law who helped me through and led me to the Bible and to Jesus. It took me 8 years to really listen to him and read and learn how to pray. After those 8 years it took 3 years to discover joy. I’m not anywhere I want to be in this life BUT the joy I have cannot be replaced. I try hard to shine my light everyday and love for Him….and it’s a struggle. I truly appreciate your walk today. I needed this!
Thank you for sharing. So many of us that grew up in church and in Christian families, still somehow struggled to learn what a true Christian faith and walking with Christ and having a relationship Him really looks like. Enjoyed taking a walk with you and your son today. 😊
God is so good and our Church has seen it big time . Every Wednesday night it's a prayer service and we had 3 people with cancer. One person they said did not have a lot of time left . We have been praying and guess what the all of them are cancer free . That show what an awesome God we have. Prayer is a big thing God does listen and he will be there for you.
I needed to hear this. I'm catholic but not practising. But since i started following you and slowly creating my pray bible, I'm getting there. I suffer from PMDD, a severe form of PMS and I very much want to find my joy again. I have a nearly 5 year old son and I want to be a better mum and woman for him and me. Thankyou for sharing and helping so many of us in this community. Much love from Sydney Australia ❤
Isn't it amazing that God was so very gentle in pulling you towards him, yet he gave you freedom as you went at your own pace and quite slowly, too? Out of your testimony what impressed me the most was how he used a song to draw you among all the many gatherings you went to. I loved the part where he spoke to your heart about having more children. I loved that you were raised in a great home with great parents who took you to church every Sunday, but something was missing which was a personal relationship with Jesus. I love how you found Him! I love how your life was changed forever! I love how he is using you to make these videos and discover Prayer Bibles. You are reaching so many people as he uses you for his glory! The light and joy in you shines out abundantly!
I was raised catholic and was saved when I was 17. I’ve been a “Christian” since then but always felt that longing you were speaking of. Girl let me tell you I have NEVER felt so close to God since I started my prayer bible back in October last year. I cannot thank you enough! Love you sister! Many blessings to your family. Samuel is the sweetest…🥰
I am a new Christian and new to the Bible. Never exposed to Jesus growing up. I made the decision to start going to church with my kids after I kept losing family members. It is like you were describing my life and the thoughts that run through my mind. Thank you for sharing. I hope I can have my break through moment. ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. Mine is similar in some ways to yours. My realization of who Jesus is has grown over time. So grateful that God doesn’t give up on us! ❤❤
Thank you so much Jessica for sharing your testimony! I really connected to what you said about feeding your soul by binge watching Christian content, drawing closer to God and that He will then draw closer to you! I am a baby born again Christian. God delivered me and my husband from homelessness and addiction - it has been a long process over several years but I am just now at the point where It’s like “okay, I have stable housing, I am not using drugs (over 2 years clean), now I want to draw closer to God and work on that part! For the first time in my life I am reading the Bible and not just reading it but ENJOYING it, looking forward to it and craving it! I’ve started to make a prayer Bible and I am binge watching Christian content - finding my way in Christ. Thank you so much for your videos! ❤
My testimony is much like yours. I, too, was a preacher’s kid, and my undergraduate degree is also from Mississippi College. I played “Christianeez” until I was 26 years old. It was at that time that I heard about hell, and I realized I wasn’t saved. I made Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, was filled with His precious Holy Spirit. There is nothing like living for Him! Thank you for sharing! I’ve made and helped others make several prayer Bibles through your guidance. Love meeting and sharing with other sisters in Christ. May God pour His blessings out on you and your family!
I loved going on the walk with you ! Thank you for taking us along ! I am a Christian but you really reminded me of something ! I have JOY missing in my life ! Thank you Jessica !
Beautiful; your street, your pond, your life. (Gorgeous Samuel, thank you for the peek!). Thank you for sharing your story, of God chasing you, and your blessings. ❤
This testimony was a blessing and thank you so much for sharing. I think people are going to take a second look at their faith walk because of this. I can relate to calling oneself a Christian but not being "all in." I was saved at age 8 and believe it or not was on fire for the Lord ... until my 20s. I fell hard into sin. Always called myself a Christian. Never stopped reading the Bible. Always in church. But tolerated sin in my life. I had a dream of going to hell. I wish I could say "that did it for me." But no. Took a man trying to take my money and dignity to turn me around. That's when I turned my life over to the Lord and said "that's it!" I am not perfect, but I'm "all in" by the grace of God.
I never got a notification for this!! 😭 so excited to watch this video! You’re a breath of fresh air and a bright light! I started getting into reading months and months ago. I read a lot of books! I had this voice in the back of my head telling me to read the Bible. I kept hearing it and feeling like I needed to read it. I prayed to God to help me find the motivation to pick up a Bible and read. All of a sudden, Sisteritas videos started popping up on my YT. And I never searched for anything like her content, yet they were popping up. Honestly, I ignored them at first. It wasn’t something I was into. But this one video of hers, the one about making a prayer Bible with the pink Bible with all of the tabs as the thumbnail would not stop popping up. So I clicked on it and became very fascinated! So I went to Mardels and found a similar Bible. I had no clue what I was doing. I felt almost like a fraud in the Christian store. I felt silly and embarrassed for knowing nothing about any of the Bible stuff or Christian stuff. I looked online where to start in the Bible for beginners and it told me the Gospels. So I started in Matthew as it directed. Changed my life! I became so intrigued by all of Sisteritas YT videos. Binged them all over and over. Bought all of the Bible’s she talked about and have been reading them!! I carry my pocket sized one with me in my purse! I am very thankful for God putting Sisteritas videos in my life because that’s what really gave me that little push I needed! We started going to church and praying with our children and singing Christian songs. We welcome God into our life and our lives have never been better!!
Beautiful names for your kids and love the nature walk in the neighborhood. 😊 I appreciate hearing your testimony and soaking up the encouragement. Haha. 🌷 We have such great promises to hold on to and our inheritance is beyond anything we can imagine, I am so looking forward to it. Praise, Honor & Glory to our Great King Yeshua and The Ancient of Days, The I AM. - Love you back & may our Faithful God continue to be in your family always. Thanks for your channel. 💜🌿
What an amazing testimony and thank you for your vulnerability! This one brought me to tears in a good way ❤ I’m sure so many of us can relate to this, I know I can!
Hi Jessica, So you grew up in Michigan I am originally from the Detroit area I now live in Jacksonville, FL I lived in the Palm Beach County area for over 40 years we moved to Jacksonville to take care of my husbands mother who now has passed away. Do you still live in Michigan? What area? The video I am watching reminds me of some of the houses from where I am from. Take Care and God Bless.
How do I surrender to the lord? I dont get it and am so confused and many times conflicted to make decisions. How can I know if leaving something is either one of two things: Either 1) God telling me to leave something I shouldnt have because its not good for me. OR 2) The demons telling me to leave something that is actually good for me, so they want me to stray from it. ..... Its hard to know for sure if I'm doing or not doing what He wants. People say I can know by whether it follows the bible. But its still hard to know. I dont trust my feelings enough to go by that. I dont trust my head and thoughts enough to go by that. I dont trust peoples opinions enough to go by that. I wish God's voice was audible and more clear. People in Old Testament times and people in Jesus times, are so lucky. Like, maybe they didn't know how fortunate they were to receive all those clear instructions. I definitely needs help because my mind is all over the place with sadness and doubt and confusion. I want to follow God and do what He wants, but I dont know how, or whether im doing it right or not, so that in it of itself steers me away with lack of confidence and decreased motivation to keep trying.

Beautiful. GOD is a gentleman and he calls us to him in the most beautiful way.
God is so good and our Church has seen it big time . Every Wednesday night it's a prayer service and we had 3 people with cancer. One person they said did not have a lot of time left . We have been praying and guess what the all of them are cancer free . That show what an awesome God we have. Prayer is a big thing God does listen and he will be there for you.

Hey Sisterita! I would encourage you to seek Him in prayer and His Word and He will lead and guide you with the power of the Holy Spirit! Hugs!
