It's time for Who's a part of Reliance Wednesday! Lets get to know Vickie Hemphill! 
Hi! My name is Vickie Hemphill, and I am originally from Columbus, MS, but now reside in St. Petersburg, FL. God led me to Lynchburg, VA, to attend Liberty University, and that is how I became involved with Reliance! While I grew up in church, there was an approximate 10-year period in my life where I embraced the world and had no desire for church whatsoever, yet God never left my side. He walked with me, and protected me while I experimented with many different substances – some of which I came to abuse, and endured both sexual abuse and domestic violence at the hands of both my ex-husband and ex-fiancé. Tired of my life, I finally turned back to God, and because of His love, mercy, and grace, He forgave me and renewed my life.
