I first came to the Lord at the age of twelve. Prior to my genuine salvation experience, I had been attending church with my parents for many years. During Christmas of 1984, I realized I needed a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. My eyes were opened to the truth, and the Word of God became real to me. The Bible wasn’t just something good to read, it became a life’s guide to every day living. I am currently married and raising two young children. Between challenging circumstances, and personal health issues, I have learned the grace of God. Christianity is not a religion, but a lifestyle. As I submit my will to Christ, He shows me I can do all things through Him. I am helpless without God. God meets my every need, even through the impossible. I am continuously striving to do what God wants me to do, and not following the ways of the world. I pray that I will be used by God to help the hurting. In conclusion, all of us as Believers need to remember that only what we do for Christ will last.
