Elizabeth Osigian

Hello! My name is Elizabeth. My story is pretty simple: I truly would not be here today if it weren’t for the love of Jesus. 

After a lifetime of hurts (abuse, addiction, self hatred, etc.) I sought comfort for many years in all the wrong places- intimacy, food, drugs.. you name it, I tried it. I was so angry with God. How could He allow for my life to have gone the way it did? How could He stand by and do nothing?

But the truth is He did everything and more.

He chose me. Over and over again as I chose other forms of love.. He chose me. He showed me grace and mercy time after time when I didn’t deserve it. To the point of repeatedly preserving my life when I was so careless with it (as I said- I’m here by the grace of Jesus. It’s a miracle I’m alive).

My life isn’t perfect. I struggle more than many know. I have a physical disability that is limiting and excruciating. I have emotional wounds I’m still processing that no one should have to sort through.

But in the midst of that I have immense hope. I have JOY. And it is because of my beloved Jesus. He saved me from myself. He saved me from my addictions. He saved me from hopelessness. It is with freedom and joy that I get the honor of portraying the role of His Bride.
