Hey!
Where to start-- All I can say is this when people ask me how my life has changed since being Saved and Loved by God; I know there are no words to do it justice at all.
As a child I was not raised in a Christian home. It was not until later in life that I knew that I was surrounded by God and his Grace& Love.
At 16 years of age I found myself pregnant with a baby and the father was gone in a flash-- The gfather was a "christian" and so when word got out about me and the baby and my pending abortion the Pastor called upon me and we talked..at 16 pregnant and heartbroken I only heart one sentence in that talk I had.." You have already sinned child no need to sin again by killing a gift from God"
I never did have that abortion and My daughter was born happy and healthy!
Having her put me on a different road in life.. shortly after her birth her father and I started dating again and we got married and I was baptized- when I look back on that date no feelings enter my body.. they were just words..
Upon my ex-husband cheating I turned my back on god the church and everything-- if there was a God why would this happen.
Fast forward about 6 years and 2.5 years ago..
My gramma my mentor and the lady I looked up to was dying and that is where I was saved for the 2nd time.
My grandma was my life- my only constant thing ever..
She was fastly fading out of this world. If someone ever asked me what a Godly women was her picture comes to mind--
The last day she was alive-- a missionary from her Church came and was talking to her, I explained she was to far gone to be able to respond. He looked at me and pretty much said do not underestimate God.
My gramma had not repsonded to anyone at all for at least 24 hours..
He asked her" This is the day you have prepared for- Are you ready for this Day" and to my surprise she opened her eyes and said she was ready
I was in utter shock.
That is when it hit me..What was i living for.. What was i really doing.. NOTHING..
At that moment I cried so hard-- for the fact that my gramma was indeed leaving me--but she had given me or left me the greatest gift of all..God's love and my need for Gods love in my life.
before she died I remembered things from my childhood-- going to her church-- seeing the way she lived her live for God, to this day I still recall seeing her Black Bible in every room she was ever in..
See I believe God works through people to bring us to him--and in my case it was my Grammas Death that brought me to him.
This time around I have a true connection to God-- there are so many feelings and hopes and trust between me and God there never was before.
My testimony is just begun- cause as my journey goes forth and I deepen in my Faith it will only get better.
I am preparing for the Day I have lived my life for..
Sorry if my words are all over the place--
