Hi I am marieg
I would like to share my testimonie with you, I have now been a christian for 16 years. I was brought up as Roman Catholic. I came away from the church when I was 15 because I became disillusioned. It was many years after that I had any involvement with christianity. I had a bad expierence which put me off christians. But I never stopped believing in God, but I found it hard to to trust christians. One failed marriage,into the second relationship and six children later, I was finding things tough, much of my life was darkend with abuse, for myself and five of my girls. I felt a falure and was riddled with guilt. I wanted to end my life, I felt my children would be better off without me because I could not protect them. Also I was in a abusive relationship,I was at a very low. My second partner's father died, this did not help either, as my partner became depressed.
I got to the point were I knew that I needed to get away, well this is were God intervened,it was Gods timeing. I rang my oldest daughter and asked if I could stay, she said yes. I arranged for the younger children to be looked
after, and my partner was quite happy for me to go. I arrived on the Friday
and my daughter told me that there was a live link with her church as Billy Graham was over doing a crusade in England. I was very apprehensive but I went along the next evening. I gave my life to the Lord that evening, I did not feel anything that night except being fearful of telling my partner.
The next morning I went to church with my daughter, after the service, my daughter and her friend prayed with me. I was filled with the spirit and that
was when I had my encounter with Jesus,it was the most awesome expierence of my life.I have never felt such love, it was the first time that I understood what love was. I cried and cried, I felt warm and secure. All fear just left me. God gave me the courage to tell my partner, he was not happy for a very long time. We got married and God has changed his heart, he is not so angry and our relationship is a hundred per cent better. It took alot of prayer and perserverence. I was not on my own any more I had my saviour with me.
