God's Word will not return to Him void!

My name is Diana De La Rosa and I am currently a Christian because God pulled me out of the most horrible lifestyle anyone could live in. As a child, my parents were night club owners in Miami, FL. They made a lot of money and to the world everything seemed to be going perfect in their lives, but that couldn’t be more far from the truth. During that time, although we seemed to be the most prosperous family, in reality, at home, my parents and siblings fought like cats and dogs. There was no peace in my household because it was divided. By the year 2002, my parents had to sell the night club we owned and as a result of all the money we lost and the terrible times we were facing, my parents got a divorce. Coping with my parents separation was difficult for me and although I was a good student and generally a good kid, I felt a lack of purpose, an emptiness inside me that needed to be filled.
When I was 14 years old, on a Sunday morning in the summer, I turned on my television and started flipping through the channels when I suddenly found myself watching the Trinity Broadcasting Network, a Christian television station. On the station, a Pastor by the name of Dr. James Kennedy from Coral Ridge Ministries was asking if anyone wanted to receive Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. At the time I only knew God from what I had been told, but felt a desperate need to get to know Him for myself. So I prayed the sinner’s prayer as the Pastor recited it and when I was through, I turned off the TV and fell on my knees and said, “God if you are real, all I ask is that my parents get remarried.” Instantly, I heard a voice say to me “Diana get up!” There was no one in my house at the time so I knew God was speaking to me and He directed me to do the following: “Go to your mother’s room and find the first wedding ring your father gave her (my parents had been together for about 32 years before they separated and had had previous marriage engagements).” When I found the ring, God directed me to put on the finger that best fit, and I placed on my left thumb. He, then, said, “You will wear this ring until the day that your parents get remarried, and when they do, give the ring back as a sign that I am your God and that I fulfilled this promise to you.”
As I served the Lord and continued to get to know God it took 5 years before I saw my miracle, but in 2008, my parents got remarried and I was able to give the ring back as a sign that God does answer the desires of our hearts. Ever since, my parents and most of my family have also come to the Lord and are now currently serving God in different ministries in my church back in Miami. In conclusion, God saved my family from utter destruction and saved me from complete despair and just as He saved me and brought me to His feet, he could do it with you.
So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.(Isaiah 55:11)
