Giulia

I am an Italian from Roma. I live in the great south land of the Holy Spirit,Australia and I love my new country even as much as I love my mother country, Italia. I was born with a heart murmur and doctors only gave me 7 years to live. But God has kept me alive till now, even after all those years I abused myself and allowed others to do the same.I went to the Overseas School of Rome and then Princess Hill high in Melbourne. I mention my schools here because there is no option for these schools on the "my school" space and it would be great to meet anyone who went to the OSR with me.I used to love heroin and Muhamed. Now I love Jesus Christ.He has touched me and made whole and Holy and His Living Water fills and satisfies the soul better than any person or substance. I had temporary peace with heroin, with Christ I have lasting peace.I am a widow and I have three children and three grandchildren, they are dear children. My husband was killed in the underworld in '87, his body was never found. He was a Muslim, that's why I became one. I was told he was shot in Sydney, I was also told not to inquire about it. I was in prison at the time and I saw a vision of him asking for my help, that's about all I know, no memorial for him, nothing. My children have a new Father in heaven now.I was in and out of prison all my life and used heroin for 20 years, I was into reading tarot cards and dabbled in magic as well. I was actually pretty spot on with my readings. I know now that life is a lot more complex and people's wills should not be influenced to serve themselves. I have been out since October 13th 2004 and living for Christ and fully clean of drugs and sex. Each day, for me is a celebration of God's love for me and I wear a ring signify my devotion to Him.Am studying, working and sparring as much as I can,I really enjoy sparring!I like Close Quarter Combat, and other forms of fighting, boxing and kickboxing as I like to dance and rock climb and extreme sport in general.I am glad I have a job even after all the years I spent in the underworld so the government doesn't have to look after me.I have no ghosts around me, Christ killed em all even though some may try to spook me occasionally (can't get past the blood, ha !)I am active in the community and try to change any injustice that is within my power to influence however small that may be.I have just finished writing my autobiography, and am writing (being edited) some fiction now, I am doing an advanced diploma in screenwriting. Just finished a diploma in community development and working on editing a doco I wrote and directed (still in progress) and produced (this work is not one that can be criticised beofre it is out there, no pitching for this, people have kindly given me music and their talent editing and camera work) about rehabilitation or lack of in the prison system. I hope the ABC like it, if not the community can benefit from it.I have been to prison 13 times for all different petty crimes. I also escaped police custody (my favourite, felt like Hudini!lol) which was my very last crime ironically. Each was only petty sentences (still shameful, yet past), longest was 12 mths, then 9 and six and so on. I have seen a lot lived a lot, I was never really a criminal, just a drug addict (still managed 536 covictions, just through my desperation to obtain peace fast and superficially), there needs to be less punitive measures and more healing in prison. In an environment when you have imperfect people running your life healing doesn't take place, instead rebellion thrives, rightfully so, I say. I have been a high class hooker (to support my habit) as well as street hooker (no pimp) and hated every minute of it.Could not have done it without heroin and would not have done it if I didn't need heroin. Heroin ruined my life, I sold everything I had for heroin, even my body and I never thought I would or could do that. Really all I was craving was peace and love. Jesus Christ is wayyyy better than any drug on the planet and He is healing me greatly by His grace, He has the peace and love I have craved all my life! He has given me a brand new life and all old things are passed away, Hew has healed my body and my mind, I have no shame and no guilt, I have joy instead of misery and I can walk with my head held high. I am no longer shy because He has turned me into a bold sister. My past is a faded memory of what I once was which is now so far removed from who I am so it is just like I am not talking about me but some detached experience of someone I once was.I was very attracted to the excitement of being a criminal and never had any desire for riches or fame,just honour. I saw beyond the masks of the people and wasn't and still am not impressed. Never really wanted anything apart from the Love of God streaming into my thristy soul. Where there once was a desert a garden now grows.Now I know a life in Christ can be very adventurous as I still like to live on the edge, His Presence is strongest there.I have slept in a royal palace as a guest and also slept on a beach with a bum. The sky was the best ceiling I have ever experienced. More beautiful and safer than a ceiling of a palace.I am saddened by the state of the church and the desire for fame and riches, the importance placed on the physical "talent" and the neglect of the true spiritual "talent" which is faith. There is no Presence of Christ in the church any more.Praise God for our medical system in Australia (yes I know there are flaws in the system, still).Still I have been looked after and am grateful (I am sure God had a hand in it, my story is too amazing). Now my life is healing rapidly and God is active in all I do and say. I hunger for him each day and each day I ask Him to lead my footsteps in His way and not my own. I don't think just having the gift of tongues or gift of miracles means you have a Christian heart and a Christian heart of courage and love is what really matters and I know courage comes from love, though I have seen it come from excessive pride, love always wins in the end, even if you don't see it now. Love is steadfast and doesn't fold or betray you when the crunch comes, love is better than drugs. Psalm 18:34 "He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken in mine arms." I like army boots and cowboy boots but I also like ballet shoes and sometimes stilettos (they are not good for the posture so I only wear them some of the time, I like my back and feet a lot):). Psalm 144:1 "Blessed be the Lord my strength[rock]which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight" I would Love to go to Israel one day, if they let me in. I feel like I am a Jew. A real Jew because my true nationality is not of the flesh but of the heart.Amo l'Italia, sono nata a' Roma e'ogni volta che ritorno mi sento un sacro timore che mi tocca proprio nel cuore.Piu importante, Jesu' mi ha toccato e' mi ha liberato dal' vizio delle droge. E' mi ha guarito e'mi ha dato la salute! Amo Jesu' Cristo piu di tutto altro.
