Latoya Heard lived the typical teenage life. She was surrounded by a loving family. She enjoyed hanging out with friends and was active in school. On the surface, she seemed happy and looked as if she had it all together; yet on the inside she was falling apart. She was broken, empty, and confused. Held hostage by the guilt and shame of a painful family secret that was hidden for almost twenty years, Latoya lived in denial and torment as various forms of sinful validation became her coping method. What she thought she was controlling had taken complete control over her life. Even though she attended church regularly and believed in God, she had no knowledge on how to access Him. She was totally oblivious to the Truth that deliverance was even available to her. Her cries for help went unheard for years as she struggled in secret. She had no idea that God heard every cry, knew every secret, and loved her beyond her faults and flaws. Once she accepted the gift of salvation and made a commitment to Jesus, every void that she had tried to fill was now filled with His love. The convenience of bondage is Latoya's personal testimony of how the power of love and forgiveness helped her on her journey to healing, wholeness, and freedom.
