Hi! My name is Sheila Proctor Zant, my heart was touched by God, when I was 12 years old. I was baptized, and that year I had ruptured appendix. Even though I had been saved then, I really didn't understand how to live for God. Of course like all of us I went out into the world of things.  I rode race horses from 1965 until 1992. Had a lot of concussions, broke ribs,shattered knee cap, broke ankle..injuries that I came back from quickly because of my will and God's hand of grace(favor). I married 1st time in 1972, two days 17, he was a child predator, I believe now his family, groomed me..He ended up in jail, I divorced at 18.. then I married a womanizer, at 21 yrs of age divorced at 25...then married an abuser for 12 years..I came out broken mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually.. for 7 years I was totally lost in myself, unworthy broken soul. During this time I begged God to HELP ME! Help me win a lottery to get financially on my feet, I had left the last marriage with $1 and a credit card. I was so focused on all the "things" (possessions I had worked my butt off for) I had lost. I didn't see the blessing God brought in front of me . The horse name was The Key Grip" Llave as my sister called him. Our friend had wanted to sell him as a 3 yr old in November, I didnt have any money, and didnt want to borrow money to buy him. This is blessing chance number one...then again in July our friend said again needed to sell him, she was going to law school..yep, again I missed this blessing..but THANK GOD that my sister and her husband bought Him.  I did start him his first 90 days. And the rest of this story is history...in 1998 I married my 4th husband, we have been married 22 years, we are debt free, and BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE. IN 2003  I found out I had breast cancer, instead of asking God why me? As I had always done, I ask God to USE ME....ever since then I have been trying to become a vessel for Jesus.  I had identity theft, 3 of my horses have died,our new roof leaked, septic tank backed up, ran over a kitten, wheel bearings on my trailer caught fire, my dad passed away, and three months later my father in law passed away, 2018 got breast cancer again. I have been healed and cancer free since Dec 7th 2019...short and long of all this is that when we have a personal relationship with Jesus it doesn't matter what goes on in the world life, we are IN THE HANDS OF GOD, and for me it is peace, healing, comfort,JOY AND PRAISE TO GOD that I KNOW THAT I KNOW, "ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL".. all the things of this world CANNOT take the place of my relationship with Jesus.  I AM A SURVIVOR AND OVER COMER BECAUSE JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US! Through His blood we LIVE FROM VICTORY, NOT for victory!!   I pray this small time I have shared with you that you SEE WHAT Jesus CAN and WILL DO!   Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled" GLORY TO GOD!  This short testimony of my life is to SHOW YALL THAT YOU CAN LIVE FROM VICTORY ,not for victory..that God is ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP GIVE YOU GUIDEANCE , STRENGTH AND PERSEVERANCE!!

My EVERY morning prayer is :Father God, guide me to DO ALL things that will bring GLORY and HONOR TO You AMEN. PLEASE DON'T just talk to the talk but walk the walk with Jesus .. our purpose is to LIVE LIFE so those who know you but don't know God will come to know God because the know you...AMEN 

I appreciate that you took time to share this with us
