I received Jesus Christ as my personal savior Easter Sunday 1994. Since then I have been blessed in so many ways. God is so faithful. One example of his provision that helped build my faith as a new believer... My husband's brother and his wife were struggling to make ends meet and they were unable to make their house payment. We were newly married and were struggling as well, but I had just the amount they needed in my savings account. Without a second thought, we gave them the money to pay their mortgage. That very day I received a refund check for a retainer fee, from a lawyer I had used the year before. It was the same amount of money we had withdrawn from our savings account. The Lord proved to me that very day that when he asks us to give, we need not be afraid. He will take care of us better than we could ever imagine. He has provided for us over and over and over again.

Our 16 year old son was tragically killed in a car accident in 2012. He had accepted Christ as his savior March 20, 2011, PRAISE GOD! When the police knocked on the door and delivered the news I sat there speechless for a moment. I finally said to them, "If what you are telling me is true, I KNOW where my son is. He is in heaven." I excused myself for a moment and went to my room where I dropped to my knees and prayed. I asked the Lord to give me the courage and the strength to get through this and to give me that "peace that passes all understanding". I believe he did, that very moment. Dealing with such a tremendous loss is something no one wants to go through but I KNOW where he is. He is in the presence of the Lord. I WILL see him again some sweet day. It's been 10 years and I miss him very much. My marriage is stronger than it was before our loss. We have shared his testimony with teens and adults and have had sweet fellowship with other parents in our situation. God has carried us, provided for us, loved us, sheltered us and healed us. Thank You Lord Jesus! Amen

The Lord Bless you for your Faith
