I screamed out the name of Jesus. And I said, if you're real, I really need you because I don't know what else to do. I'm done. And at that moment, I screamed out his name and I received him into my heart. And I didn't die that night. And I'm so very thankful. And I have a story to tell because of that.
Imagine facing a life filled with rejection, abuse, addiction, and even suicide attempts. That was Paula Abbott's reality until one day, a simple decision changed everything. Following a charming guy into a cowboy church, Paula heard about Jesus and felt something shift within her. This moment was the beginning of her recovery journey.

Today, Paula spreads a message of hope and resilience, showing others that it's possible to rise from the darkest places. Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Paula's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible with the right support and a little faith.
