My name is Lindsey Martin and I am 24 years old.  I have been on drugs since I was 12 years old and I was raised by my grandmother due to the fact that my mother was hardly around because of her own addictions and my father was in and out of prison the majority of my childhood.  I entered New Beginnings the first time in 2018 on a court mandate.  My focus was to complete my mandate and I stayed in transition for a short period of time and then left going to back to hanging out with the same people in the same places.  Within 2 months of leaving NB I relapsed, but I didn’t fully surrender to God my first time.  I came back in September 2019 and I fully surrendered my life to the Lord on 9/22/2019.  Now I have a have a relationship with my sister and both of my parents.  I am living my life for the Lord for the first time.  I now work for the ministry as a full time staff member and I am able to give back what was so freely given to me.
