I Stole from the Church Offering — Then Grace Found Me in the Police Cell.

I was a Sunday school teacher, a trusted church member—and I stole the building fund offering. This is my raw, unfiltered testimony of hitting rock bottom in a police cell, and how grace met me there when I deserved it least. ✨ Join me, Sharon Mendez, as I share the journey I never wanted to take—from a desperate, secret struggle in Rockford, Illinois, to a very public arrest, and through the long, hard road of facing consequences, seeking forgiveness, and finding redemption. This isn't a polished story; it's a real one. It's about the gap between our public faith and private pain, and the love that refuses to let us go. 🙏 🔹 *What You’ll Feel & See in This Testimony:* The weight of shame and the fear of exposure 😔 The cost of betrayal to my son, my church, and myself 👨‍👦 Quiet moments of unexpected kindness that kept me going 🤍 The painful, necessary process of true repentance and restoration 🔄 How community can love you through your worst failure 🙌 The slow, sure work of grace that rebuilds from the rubble 💖 This story is for anyone who has ever felt too broken for forgiveness, too ashamed for hope, or too lost for a second chance. God’s grace is greater than our deepest sin. 🕊️ *👇 Engage With This Story:* Before I continue, I’d love to know—where are you watching from?
