Meagan
Hey guys! My name is Meagan and I am a part of the BeautifulYou team. I am so excited to be able to share part of my testimony with you guys. Hopefully some of you guys can relate or be encouraged or learn something from it.
So about 2 years ago I got Lyme disease, and it was probably the hardest part of my life. I just remember constantly being in pain and being sick. My pastor prayed over me, my youth pastor prayed over me, my family prayed over me, but I just wasn’t receiving healing. That was really hard to go through, especially when my friends were receiving healing, some from the same illness as myself. This made me start to think that I didn’t have as much faith as everyone else, because it was happening for them, but it just wasn’t happening for me.
God showed me a lot through all of it though, the first thing being that He never leaves us or abandons us.
So after about 2 years, I did get healed from it. It did not happen overnight though; it was very long and hard and difficult. God showed me a lot through all of it though, the first thing being that He never leaves us or abandons us. This actually leads me to the verse that I want to share, which is Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
As Christians there will be hard and painful times, but God promises to never leave us. This promise definitely came true in my life during this time. The second thing that He showed me is that He can use the process, and He has used the process in my life. If I hadn’t gone through what I went through, my faith wouldn’t be as strong as it is today, and I wouldn’t have been able to have this testimony and relate to others that have been through what I went through.
If I hadn’t gone through what I went through, my faith wouldn’t be as strong as it is today.
So, I want to encourage those of you who are looking for healing, don’t get discouraged, don’t think that your faith isn’t strong enough, and trust God. If He isn’t giving you healing right away, then He has something so much bigger and better planned for you. Thank you so much for letting me share this with you guys, and have a great rest of your day!

I’d been drinking all day long and pulled out into the path of an oncoming vehicle with a with a woman and all of her children packed into this car. They T-boned me and at that moment everything went blank.

One Sunday the music director said the handbell choir needed more members. I thought, “No, I wasn’t ready to get involved.” At the end of the service I found myself volunteering for bell choir!

One Sunday afternoon I was sitting drunk in a bar, and I’m looking around. The only ones in the bar were the bartender, some shady looking guy in the corner, my ex-boyfriend’s mom, and me. I heard this voice in my head say, “What am I doing here?”

This past year I found a black dot on my thumbnail that looked like a pencil point. Nothing much to it. Then it became an abrasion at the end of my nail. My doctor referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who found it to be malignant skin cancer.

At that point I said, “I can’t do this myself. It’s in your hands, God.” That part I remember clearly. It turns out that it was really, really was up to Him (and a good surgeon).

So when drugs and alcohol came around, it was easy for me to say “yes,” because I didn’t have anything in me saying “no” anymore. As I got more involved with drugs, I got into more crime. I started committing violent crimes, selling drugs, abusing drugs ended up back up in prison.
