Amy Salcedo | Story

I am Amy Salcedo, and this is my story. 

Before I gave my life to Christ, I believed in God but wasn’t seeking Him. After a painful breakup, I went through depression, anxiety, and heartbreak. As a single mom, I tried to stay strong for my son, but inside I felt empty and alone. I looked for comfort in other places, but nothing gave me peace.

In my darkest moments, God was there. Psalm 34:18 says, The lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. That was me, I had no words, no strength to respond, just silence and pain. But even then, God reminded me I was His child, deeply loved and never forgotten.

My brother invited me to church, and at that first service, I felt God’s presence like never before. I realized I couldn’t fix my brokenness on my own and surrendered my life to Jesus, trusting His grace for forgiveness and new life.

Since then, I’ve found peace, hope, and strength. My faith has helped me grow, heal, and lead my son with love and patience. Today, I choose to follow Christ, not just for me, but for my son, who reminds me of God’s joy and love every day.
