I started taking my girls to Little Light Mommy and Me Center. Ms. Joanna really helped me with my struggle of stealing, through Bible Study and Women’s gatherings. As a young girl, I’ve always wanted a Cadillac Escalade.
When I was younger, I would steal money to get my Escalade. I would steal money out of my Dads wallet. I would steal my Grandmothers social security money. I would steal money out of my mothers purse. I would steal money from my mothers coworkers purses and cubicles. I would steal money out of my brothers best friends wallet. I would steal money from my brother. I stole money from my moms office coffee fund. I even stole money from my church tithe and offering. I stole $200 from my dads best friend and even lied about where I got it from. After my mom had been getting complaints about money at her office turning up missing, she found my hidden stash of stolen money. When my mom asked me about where I got almost $500 from, I lied and said that it was all my birthday money, Christmas money and money that I had found. She later tithed it all to my church when I finally told her the truth.
I was so caught up in stealing peoples money that I had completely let the devil himself take over all of my mind, heart and souls.
I gave into so much temptation because all I cared about and was focused on was getting me a Cadillac Escalade. I sinned so much. I didn’t understand that this was not the way that God wanted me to get my Escalade. My whole mindset was I’m going to get this Escalade my way no matter how I got it.
I have gotten saved and now am able to resist the temptation of stealing because God has done so much to help me through my very tough struggles. I have not stolen from anywhere because God and Ms. Joanna have helped me to realize that God will give me my Escalade when God is ready for me to have it. Stealing is so wrong. I will not steal anymore or ever let the devil tempt me to go against God and steal ever again.
