My Testimony
When I was thirteen, I had been going to revival for two weeks.
I was under conviction and knew I needed the Lord. My mother said to me, "If
you don't change your ways you will go to Hell". I could not get what she
said off my mind. I knew that if I died at that moment, I would end up in Hell.
I just wanted to go somewhere and hide, just me and the Lord. I went down behind
the chicken house, knelt down on the ground, and asked God to forgive me. When
I got up the burden was gone. As I walked back to the house, I felt like I was
walking on air. My feet didn't seem like they were touching the ground. I knew
God had touched me and it would last forever. I thank him every day for saving
my soul.
"A new heart
also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take
away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 36:26
Inez was the mother of Patricia Coleman and the grandmother
of Suzanne and Nick Coleman who are also member of
our church. Inez's testimony touched our hearts and reminded us that we can
find God anywhere whenever we are truly seeking him. She went to be with the
Lord in January of 2002.
