Hi!
My name is Sarah and I am 30 years old. I'm married but my husband isn't saved (YET!) I have been a Christian since I was 10 but I went through several periods of trying to do things on my own. I ran away from God when I turned 18 and didn't look back for 6 years. Praise God that he wouldn't let me get away. God blessed me with a job taking care of a wonderful christian woman who challenged me to grow closer to God. I tried to pull away again because it seemed like it would be easier to just follow along with my unsaved husband than to make a stand for Christ.
Looking back it seems so silly to have lived so long trying to push God out of my life. Over the last few months I have been blessed with even more christian friends and overwhelmed by God's love for me. I cannot push him away anymore! The Lord has given me hope for my marriage and my husbands salvation and done so many amazing things in my heart and mind. I believe this time I will not choose the easy path of the world (and honestly it isn't easy either) and will stay on the path God wants for me.
My Pastor preached a sermon last month about asking God to wreak me so that I wouldn't be able to be anything other than God's child and his servant. That has been my prayer that I am so broken before God that there is nowhere I can or want to turn then to Him.
Okay that was way more then I originally intended to say but I am determined not to be ashamed of my testimony. Anyway I hope that I can bless others on this forum and grow in the knowledge of God here.
God bless
Sarah
