Church
Her Testimony
It all started on a Wednesday morning. I woke up really depressed and ready
to give up on
everything. I just couldn’t take any more bad luck in my life. I felt
like I was at the top of
a mountain, holding on to a little limb, the limb I called my hope and my
faith, and
something just told me to let go and whatever happened would just happen.
I would just
cry and cry. I told my oldest son Scott, “ I give up I just can’t
take any more.” He said, “Mom you always tell me not to give up, so you can’t give up”.
I picked up the phone and
called Pastor Lynn and told him I had to come down to the church. He said
Bro. Oakes was
there with him. I told him I couldn’t wait, I needed to come to the
church right then. He
told me to come on down. Pastor Lynn and Bro. Oakes met me at the door and
we talked
for a few minutes. Then we went into the sanctuary and both of them knelt
to pray with me.
I just started talking to God and begging Him to please save me. I thanked
him for blessing
me with five beautiful, healthy children and told Him I needed Him in my
life so I could
raise my children with His love and guidance. I quit praying and just sat
on the floor. Pastor
Lynn asked me how I felt and I said I felt numb. My heart was beating really
fast and
suddenly I felt like there wasn’t anything in the world I couldn’t
handle because I knew now
that God was with me, even walking out of the church I looked at the sky
and it looked
different. I was baptized that next Sunday and I felt like I had been blind
and now my eyes
were opened and I could see everything the way God wanted me to. I know
now that I will
get through anything in life because God saved me on October 11, 2006.
I want to thank Pastor Lynn and Bro. Brian for being there for me and I
want to thank
JESUS. I love Him with all my heart and soul
