TESTIMONY: Macyla Batista

I’ve always been the the girl to make friends with anyone. The girl who would talk to anyone. I had amazing friends and family and a fiance’ who loved me when I wasn’t able to love myself. Outwardly I looked as if I had it all.. but somehow in the midst of all of that I still felt alone. Like something was missing. I constantly validated myself by others standards of me and never felt like I quite measured up. I didn’t feel good enough.. as if I was trying to reach an unreachable standard. I would go above and beyond to put others needs before my own to ensure they loved me.

Finally I accepted an invitation to Legacy Church I so many times denied. It’s there that I found a home. God made himself real to me for the first time. It’s there that I found myself and who I was to Christ. I’m his daughter, I’m more precious than rubies and I am MORE than enough. Since then I have made some of the sweetest friendships, got baptized and began serving. I am a stronger wife to my husband and mother to my son because I now know who I am. I don’t need the validation of others because HE loves me, in all my brokenness. He chased after me and he’ll chase after you.

As a church we do not believe in doing life alone. We want to pray with you.
