I was 34...Here is my testimony:

Psalm 40. 1,2 "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."

Christmas 1972 was my first Christmas away from home. I was in the Army stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. I received a package from Mama. As I opened it, I uncovered some fresh Georgia pecans, some homemade fruitcake, a bottle of fresh cane syrup, and a few other items. At the bottom of the box was a Bible. During that period of my life, I really didn't have much to do with God and his ways.

During the following years, I would sometimes pick up that Bible and try to read...I sure didn't understand much of what I was reading. All the begats got to me.

The years 1985 and 1986 were trying times for me. I was still in the Army and was having a great career when my family life fell apart. My wife walked out and left me with three small children. At first, I tried to put the blame on others when deep inside I knew I was to blame. I needed something but didn't know what would ease my pain.

Well, I was brought up in church (Proverbs 22.6: "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.") I figured I'd go to the local church for help. As I counseled with the pastor, he gave me a sheaf of papers I had to read and fill out, and then he would talk to me about becoming a member..I didn't need that! I needed Jesus, but no one pointed me to Him.

On January 3, 1987, about 9:30 PM, I looked up on the bookshelf. There was that Bible my Mama had given me years ago. I pulled it down, dusted off the cover, and opened it up. The words of the Psalmist (Psalm 40. 1,2,) jumped off the pages and spoke to my heart. As tears poured down my cheeks, I said "God, if You are real, save me!" Immediately Jesus came, and I was born again and I knew it! I felt like I was being washed whiter than snow.

You see, I had been under conviction of the Holy Ghost for a long time. God rearranged the circumstances of my life to get my attention. Thank God for a Mama who thought enough of me to give me a Bible.

Matthew 11.28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Since that day over 17 years ago, the Lord has used me greatly..in all kinds of ways...Parents, don't give up on your children..Continue to pray for them

[SavedByTheShoes]

i was saved just two years ago. i was 12... just a few days away from 13 at the time. i was one of thoes teenagers that you warn your kids about. I was saved over a weekend. When i came back to school everyone IMEDIENTLY noticed a differnce in me. At the end of the year my former best friend (a nonchristain) pulled out a calendar and pointed at january 31st and said "thats the day you got saved." it goes to show you that you effect peoples life weither you lead them to christ or not. never underestamate how god can use you!

I was saved when I was 11 or 12. I fell away throughout H.S., and I recently came back through the help of my friends. I know they're my angels. I know the reason they're in my life is to guide me in the right direction whenever I drift. They have helped me before (earlier in H.S.) and they have helped me again. A series of events last Sunday night occured and I realized what they have done for me. If they were not in my life, I would currently be a lost soul. God spoke to me the first time that night and I KNEW that He wanted to help me. He kept showing me signs but I was always blinded by...I don't know. I just kept ignoring all of the signs . And that night, everything came together like a puzzle. I led my friend back to a relationship with God before I realized all of this, and it was the best feeling in the world. I cried and I knew that a stronger relationship had been created that night between myself and God. My friends passed on the ability to lead other's to a relationship with God. I can now do the work of the Lord! I'm the happiest I have ever been in my life!!!!

I've been a Christian since I was born, my parents have raised me in Christ since I came home from the hospital.

I loved Christ from the day I came home, to just a few years ago, then, I entered the typical teen phase. I drew away from Christ, no longer in touch with him, now, my life has been changed, i'm more in touch with God than i've ever been. I know much more than i ever have, and my spirituality and love of Christ is growing every day.

[redwing030]

I was saved on October 13, 2002. About a year after my boyfriend (now husband) introduced me to the idea of salvation. I'd always believed in God but had no idea what it meant to be saved. I'm so thankful that God brought DH into my life for a wonderful purpose.
