God's Delivering Power Pt 1 - Vonda Logan

In this powerful episode, Vonda Logan joins us as she boldly and unashamedly shares her life’s journey with us!  Vonda Logan was born and raised in Lakewood, New Jersey. She has five siblings and is the third oldest child. Her mother had her first child at the age of 16. Vonda’s maternal grandmother had 21 children. At an early age, Vonda spent a lot of time at her grandmother’s home, where several of her aunts and uncles lived. She remembers being left alone and sexually molested by her uncle. She never told anyone about it. Vonda grew up in the projects and was raised in the streets. There was no discipline, no authoritarian figure, or father in her home. Vonda was taught to survive in the streets and was told not to depend on anyone. As a teenager, she began drinking alcohol, stealing, partying, and going out to nightclubs. One night Vonda and her friends got drunk, in the basement of a friend’s home. It was on that night her son was conceived. Vonda was 16 years old. She was afraid to tell her mom, so she ran away from home. Once her mom found out about the pregnancy, she came to get Vonda and promised to help her raise the baby. She also promised to send Vonda to cosmetology school.The home environment where Vonda grew up was very bad. Both brothers, as teenagers, were drug dealers. Although her mom knew about it; nevertheless, she allowed it.Instead of helping Vonda, her mom took a job as an 18-wheeler driver. She left Vonda to care for her newborn and her younger siblings. Vonda was still drinking alcohol, and she started smoking marijuana.Her son’s father, for a couple of years, denied that the child belonged to him. His family pursued paternity tests, took Vonda to court, and obtained custody of her son.Vonda then entered the drug scene, as her brothers, and started selling crack cocaine.  Her curiosity got the best of her. She began to wonder what kind of effect this drug had on people that would make them sell all their possessions, to get high. So then, she tried crack and became addicted.At the age of 19, Vonda and her mom packed up, left New Jersey, and moved to North Carolina. She was hoping that a change of environment would be good for her. It was not too long before Vonda realized that her addictions had followed her. Her mom’s friend's brother was a drug addict, and Vonda got back on crack cocaine.After about 3 years, her mom decided to move to Texas, after meeting a man on the road. Vonda moved to Texas with her mom. Her addictive behaviors led to her facing jail and prison time. .... But GOD!!!!
