My name is Kathy Colern and I got saved 16 years ago at the age of 22. I was raised in a good Christian home with both of my parents, but that didn’t keep me from making poor decisions in my life. When I was 14, I started dating a guy who slowly introduced me to drugs and alcohol. At the age of 16, I ended pregnant with my son. I decided that it was best to leave my son’s dad because I didn’t want to raise my son around the drugs and that lifestyle. Things were good for a while but when I turned 21, I wanted to “live” a little. So, I started clubbing and drinking with my friends. I met a guy that was a little bit older than me. He kept pushing me to get married but I knew he was not the one. My son and I left our hometown of El Paso, TX to get away from that relationship. God got a hold of me in San Antonio, TX exactly 1 week after arriving. Six months later, I was at a bible study and a guy I had never met walked in. Little did I know, one year and a half later, I would call him my husband. Jeffrey and I have been married for almost 15 years and we have a daughter named, Sophia. God redeemed me the day I gave my life to Him. I never looked back!
