I have been a committed Christian for 24 years, I have 4 grown up children, none of them have followed in faith as yet. I am married to Simon who was saved a year after I met him through the preaching of Eric Ricketts - now gone to rest. Simon works in the aircraft industry as chief programme engineer for the A320 - 40 landing gear. He is also a lay preacher. We live in the beautiful royal county of Gloucestershire, we worship at Trinity Evangelical Baptist Church - find out more about us on our web site - www.wepreachchrist. I have an old black cat who is deaf and has a very loud meoww! I have been off work due to a long debilitating illness which has left me with a vocal cord disorder - I pray we will have the resources for me to retrain as a Foot Healthcare Practitioner in 2009. I love cooking, cycling and walking when my legs will let me, as I have mild ME to cope with - but I have hope in Christ my Lord who changed my life and called me to believe in him, repent of my sin and follow his parthway for my life. I am happy to give my testomy anytime and help in anyway thoes who are needin to know more about being a Chrisatian.
I'm passionate about...
Encouraging amd motivating others to reach their full potential. Friendship, family and others.
My story with God
I eas brought up in a religious way, knew the stories of the bible and attended a local Chruch of England fellowship twise on a Sunday and throughout the week for confirmation classes and youthfellowship - I was not saved. I married in the church and spent 3 years on board a merchant ship as my my husband was 2nd mate. Had a wonderful time this was in the mid to late 70's. Sadly we divorced after 10 very hard years as he was a gambler and a born batchler, by then we had 2 children - I was anti God by then though still sent the children to Sunday school. I was homeless, pennyless and Godless and very unhappy - then I went to a Chruch service on the insistance of my children it was mothers day. I heard the gospel for the first time. This was the start of my journey to repentance - I heard that only Christ can forgive fully, and give me the peace of heart I so desparately needed at that time. I prayed he would change my life - he did! I remarried as a Christian to a Christian we were both young in faith and have walked together since. I took on two more children - though only every weekend, live has been busy and full and tough - being a Christian has been difficult and has meant committment but I know Christ lives and although I may have many mountains to climb till he come I have heaven to look forward to.
Other stuff about me:
I have been though many things in my life and know that all that I am and have been through will be made useful in some way thoughout my Christian journey. I hope to help others if they will only but ask.
My gift for you:I found this place for Christian affirmations.All we have to do is replace the bad thoughts with good thoughts..simple,isn't it? <a href="http://bit.ly/dg4vGg">http://bit.ly/dg4vGg</a>
Please do keep on praying for the request of mine down below, and I know I can count on you to do it:
Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Please also pray for ISRAEL and all over the world. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
A message was given recently in which Jesus said, the mansion I went to prepare for you is now finished. All is ready for Me to bring My people home.
