Testimony of a Colorful Swan: From Religion to Grace

I did not become a "Swan" until I got married as it is my husband's last name. I do believe that before the time frame of my marriage, I saw myself as an ugly duckling spiritually. However, the Lord was about to show me that through faith in Christ, I was spiritually beautiful just like a Swan.
I got married in 2011, I remember a few really huge turning points of redemption in my life, leading up to my marriage which began to spring forward in 2009. The Lord provided a way of escape for me in these situations. When I did get married there was even more that the Lord had in store for me, a refreshing new hunger for HIM. Jesus has been showing me how to take my life back by force, ("The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force," Matt 11:12) through the Holy Spirit and deliverance from evil minions or spirits that have tried to take control of my life, so I can help others to have an abundant life as well!
