Kristie’s bio

Jessica Noldy

Surviving 19 years of active addiction, on September 14th, 2016, I received the gift of desperation. That was the day I cried out to God to deliver me from the grips of addiction. He did!! I have maintained my recovery and refrain from drugs and alcohol since that day making it 9 years sober in September 2025. I married my husband Frank December 20th, 2020 and I have three adult children, two grandchildren and three very spoiled cats. I enjoy cooking, baking, arts and crafts and anything fashion/shopping or that better qualifies me as a diva :) Things I love that make any day special are flowers, cards, and candy.

I spent 11 years of my life in active addiction. From the age of 12 years old until I was 23 my addiction controlled my life. I was shot in 2013 and this was my first encounter with God. It took 4 more years to completely surrender to Him, but when I did…….God radically changed my life. Over the course of the next 3 years God continued to make me new. Daily I walk with Him and I am now 8 years clean. I have been married for 2 years and have 3 sons and 3 fur babies. Me and my family enjoy spending time outside hiking, swimming, and having Nerf wars. I love all sunshine, reading books, playing board games and spending time with my family. Things I love that make any day special are: Red Bull spritzers, encouraging words, and flowers. I have learned the truth of God's Word over these 8 years and daily I stand firmly on this verse found in Joel 2:25; The Lord says, "I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, and stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you."

I spent roughly 20 years in addiction controlled by drugs and alcohol, bad decisions and worse relationships. I went some long periods of time without using however, I always relapsed. I was incarcerated countless times in multiple counties for crimes related to drugs and addiction. Looking back, I see that the problem was rooted in trying to stay clean in my own strength and I simply couldn't do it.

I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was young, but I had no real concept of what a sincere relationship with Him meant. Once I realized a different life/better life was only possible when living for Him and in His way… things began to change

My last arrest was in June of 2007 and in February 2026 I will be 5 years clean.

I have 6 children and 4 grandchildren that make my heart happy. Road trips with my teenage daughter, fresh air, avocado toast and anything with 4 legs make me smile.

If I had a wrist tattoo Bible verse it would be John 8:36 "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
