God is real and works in your darkest moments. No, you don't have to do wrong to be saved. Those people are the ones that are praying and waiting for you. "A strong woman has faith that for the journey she'll have enough, no matter how uneven the terrain" Moreover, being obedient is important. God gives us freewill, and only wants what's best for you to serve others for His glory. As a woman of faith and favor. Born in Flemington NJ, grew up in Newark Nj. With five siblings and four remaining. I want you to know that you can be saved. It doesn't matter if you grew up in church, in church, or have family member that are church goers. I didn't grow up in church, but the word of God was in me. I fought hard to find his righteousness that was in me all along. I didn't have to be perfect; just me. I took ownership for my wrongs and stood up for my rights. I didn't want to appear perfect to anyone. However, the glory of God shined on my life. I learned that I was my worst critic and could never be perfect to fit in with church people. But I do have a place in God and so do you.
